Klaus, I am going to go out on a limb and guess that one of the places you hear this information is when navigating among the icons on your Desktop. If this is the case, Window-Eyes is reading the text in the pop up tooltips that are displayed on the screen for the selected item. This is the default behavior of Window-Eyes and I have worked with others who prefer to turn this setting off to cut down on the verbosity. Here are the steps to turn this option off: 1. Open Window-Eyes Control panel (Control-Backslash) 2. Make sure Show Advanced Options in checked in the Help menu (Alt-H, V) 3. In the Settings tree, open General then Other (press G, Right Arrow, press O) 4. Navigate to the options area with F6 5. Move focus to the Speak Tooltips Global combo box using Tab 6. Select Off (1 of 3) in the combo box using the Arrow keys 7. Activate the Save Settings button (Tab to the button and press Spacebar) Best, Marc

Hello, Windoweyes speaks the selected ikon – as it should be – but in addition it speaks file location and date of last change which is disturbing. How do I get this switched off?
