Jo Taliaferro Hi, I'm having the same issue with verbosity and I don't think it has to do with tooltips. My total tips setting is turned to off but I hear the same Burbage on the desk top as it speaks and explains the icons. I have the windows 10 anniversary update and I'm using the latest version of window eyes. Thank you for any help. Could this possibly have to do with descriptions? Yes I like hearing the shortcuts but not the rest of the Burbage thank you all. On Aug 9, 2016, at 2:03 PM, Larry Higgins via Talk <[email protected]> wrote:
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.
