Mark, I have carefully and repeatedly followed your below instructions
for Klaus, and still cannot get rid of the extra verbosity of my desktop
shortcuts/icons.It seems that the only shortcut that doesn't read item
type, size, or date modified, with full date and time info is the
Recycle Bin shortcut which of course is created by Windows itself.
I have been back and forth over the same Territory at least five times
trying to effect a change, but still can get nowhere.
I'm beginning to wonder if we are even talking about the same issue. Am
I not understanding correctly just what we are trying to accomplish, or
are a whole different set of instructions in order for my particular
situation <smile>?
Actually, I don't fined this to be much of a bother, because all of this
info comes after the shortcut's identity, but if I could get rid of all
of this extra verbiage, it would certainly help a bit.
Thanks,
Larry

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?
Klaus
