how else are you suppose to know how many files there are in a folder? i have a few folders that have 1000 files or more in them and i want to know this before i start browseing through the list. you don't always have to arrow through the list of files anyway. if you know the first letter of a file you are looking for you can use first letter navigation and by pass most of the files you don't want. but go to the w e control panel,verbocity,common, then to miscilanious and turn off current index.
***
open the w e control panel then the apps pull down. arrow down to windows enhanced app and click on it to open it. uncheck speak all columns in windows explorer. then reload w e.
then only the file name will speak.
to get the rest of the info on a file use the right and left arrow keys to speak the info on the file you want to hear it. this only works when you are useing the detailed view in your folders. if they are not in detailed view the arrow keys will not work.

Subject: Re: Selected item count and size, how do I stop it?

This kind of thing drives me nuts. I just closed and restarted WE, and
the problem went away. Could someone tell me why this problem happens in
the first place, and what I can do to prevent it?

Thanks again,

Larry

Hi listers,

I can't say that this happens every time I look at the contents of a folder, but enough to where it really gets quite annoying. When arrowing up or down through a list of files in a folder, I hear "Selected item count and size." It seems like if I press a bit hard on the up and down arrow keys, and fast, I can somewhat avoid it, but that isn't the magic solution I'm looking for. If someone has encountered this issue, your help in putting an end to it sure would be appreciated. I'll sure be glad when the day comes when I can start feeling a bit more expert with this new ribbon thang, but I'm not there yet. It all just seems way too cluttered and convoluted for my taste, but no need complaining I guess. I'm sure I'll have my aha moment sooner or later, but it hasn't happened yet.

For the record, I am using WE 9.1 Windows 8.1
Thanks for reading,

Larry
