Adam, The following steps apply to win7. (You don't specify which OS is involved.) I can't claim credit, but I'm afraid I can't recall where I obtained this information.
1. Open Windows Explorer with Win key+e. 2. Press alt-v for view menu. 3. right-arrow once, then arrow down to folder options. Press enter. 4. Control-tab once, then tab once. 5. You land in a tree containing eighteen items. The item you want is "Use checkboxes to select items." It is an off/on control. It's near the bottom, so I suggest pressing home, then arrowing up two or three times. 6. Tab to OK. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adam Morris Sent: Friday, June 17, 2016 4:37 AM To: Jaws for Windows.
