Samuel,
CCleaner from Piriform is free and, the last time I used it, its
interface was screen reader friendly. I'm typically not a fan of such
programs and I have stopped using registry cleaners years ago but, if
you're looking for at least a cleaner, CCleaner may be sufficient.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted to this list about an odd problem I was

example, if I entered the run dialog, Window-eyes would just read the

I remember Doug's tapes but can't quite hear that voice clearly enough

Steve,
Thank you for this fascinating bit of info. Is the Fred voice from Apple
derived from Klat-talk, as it sure does sound remarkably like one of the
Dec-talk voices. I guess I now know why the primary voice was called Dennis.

Hello.
Some of the things I'm about to write regarding the subject of antivirus
accessibility may be controversial to some and may possibly ruffle some
feathers. This is not my intent. I'd just like to offer a slightly
different perspective on this extremely important issue.

I'd like to add a few tidbits to this most fascinating thread.
In addition to the Windows screen readers which were mentioned,

correct. While I have not used that screen reader, another one that many
have forgotten is
I believe Window-eyes 1.0 came out around September of 1995, give or
take a few months. Beyond that, I'm not qualified to go into the history
of the product. As someone already indicated, the DOS screen reader
which came before it was Vocal-eyes. I remember using 1.1 of that
program in 1991.
