Hi Bill, Is there another way to get to OS drive other than
using windows explorer?
Hi, Kevin. I never copy, move
or delete files or folders using the Windows File Explorer tree view. Instead,
I actually open the folder from either the OS drive or whatever drive the
files or folders are on. This makes it simple, because I don't need to deal
with the "closed" folders. If I go into a folder, I know which folder has
focus, and the folder, and only that folder, has focus. Then, when I move or
copy the files or folders, I know exactly where they will go. If you would
like help with this, I can call you tomorrow, and walk you through the process
I use.
Hi Bill, I will try that method. When I did do a copy
through windows10 the file would then be in the two folders. I would then
delete it from the folder I copied it from. It then deleted the file in both
folders. I would go to the recycle bin and recover it. I just wonder where
some of these files that I did a cut and paste went as they don’t exist in the
folder I cut from or the folder I pasted it in. Thanks, Kevin
Hi, Kevin. It's best to use
CONTROL plus C to copy the file, then go to the folder, enter it, and use
CONTROL plus V to paste the file. These options are available in the context
menu. There's no need to use the JAWS Cursor, only the Applications key or
SHIFT plus F10.
Hello, I’m using the most recent versions of windows10 and
Jaws2022. I’m moving files from one folder to another through windows
explorer. I put the cursor on the file name. Then I use the Jaws cursor and
place cursor on the file name. I then press the right mouse key. I get the
options to copy, cut and so on. I move to cut and press enter. I then move to
the new folder. The folder I want is with in multiple folders. For example
there is a main folder. Within that folder is then folder 1. Within that
folder is folder 1a. I need to put the file in folder 1a. The file is on the
clip board. Once at the folder 1a I paste in. I make sure it is in the folder
before moving out of folder 1a. It shows up. I go and do something else and
then come back to folder 1a. The file I cut and pasted is not in folder 1a.
Also there are times I create a sub folder, it shows up and when I go out and
come back it no longer exists. What would be causing this to happen? I check
other sub folders and the file is no where.
Thanks,
Kevin
