Hi Don, I've been working away at this drop box. Grin With window-eyes it is now fairly straightforward to get it working. I use the numpad arrow keys to arrow up to select windows explorer and left click it.
My shared folders are now in the widndow where I can use the normal arrow keys tto go through them. Once selected I can open a shared folder and paste in a file to share or cut a file. I wish there wa a way to keep the windows explorer window focused on the normal arrow keys. They are the up, down, left and right keys between the main keyboard and the numberpad. At least it's working Live long and prosper, John -----Original Message----- From: Talk <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Donald L.
