I hadn't realized that so many ISPs have stopped access to Usenet news servers.

That being said, and not knowing how accessible it is, groups.google.com still gives you access to Usenet and their search capability gets you messages from decades ago if you're looking for them.  It also appears that the alt.binaries groups are still carried by them, but you have to do a search to find them, they're not listed on the main "groups" categories page.

Re: Usenet.

Nicole Massey <nyyki@...>
 

There are several ways to access Usenet, some of which are blind accessible. What you need is a news catcher program and a feed. Outlook Express will handle newsgroups from UseNet with no difficulty if you have it installed, and there are other news catchers out there as well.
As for a feed, it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for the discussion lists then just about any source will have them for free. Eternal September is a popular option, though they have a Capcha and you'll need to get around that. However there are a lot of other feeds you can find for free too.
If you're looking for the alt.binaries newsgroups, where files are exchanged, then you're probably going to have to go to a paid feed like Giganews or Dejanews. These are the places where files are shared, and some are not being shared legally, so caveat emptor and all that.
Someone may be trying to change the name for Usenet, but I doubt it'll stick. This is a portion of the internet decades older than the world wide web.
Note also that in most newsgroups (the areas devoted to specific topics) traffic is low, but also unmoderated. (moderated newsgroups do exist, but they're less common and you'll get clear indications in the group name that it's a moderated list) So the signal to noise ration can get to be a bit heavy to the noise side. On the other hand, most spam generators have given up on Usenet, so there's nowhere near as much of that as there used to be back when Usenet access was included with your ISP's services.

Hello everyone,
First of all, my apologies to the list because this may be off topic,
but I couldn't find a way to sign up for this group, and wasn't sure
if it even existed anymore.
I am interested in learning about Usenet, and had a few questions on
how to get started with it, and didn't know if any of yall used it or
not, so I figured I'd reach out. I would be using my phone to
download
content, and the content I'm wanting to download is movies, music,

I did some reading on Google, but figured maybe talking with someone

Subject: Re: How To Get Rid Of Get Windows 10 Message

the problem with this is, if your windows update is set to automatic and
recommended updates are checked, the get windows 10 nag will be reinstalled,
regardless if it is hidden. Microsoft is despritly urging users to upgrade,
and they have the means to unhide what has been hidden, even change the
status of an update from optional to recommended or important at will.

so download the gwx control panel program (I recommend the portable version,
not the installer), unzip it, run it, and enter on the option to disable the
get windows 10 app. if you should want to get windows 10, reenabling is
possible. just run the program again and enter on enable the get windows 10
app.

this will uninstall the update and then when the update comes back you
will need to hide the update and not install it.

To Hide the update:

updates need to be set to download but let me install them that way
when they are downloaded you should have a new updates in the task

Press enter on that to bring up the list of downloaded updates. down

you can then tab to the ok button and

Hello, everyone.

Yesterday, I ran malware bytes on my home Windows 7 PC, and ever
since, I receive the "get windows 10" message every few minutes or
so. I can exit out of the message using alt F4, but the message
re-appears again soon thereafter.

How can I get rid of this message?

Personally, I find it not only annoying, but intrusive!

I do plan to upgrade to Windows 10 at some point, and don't need to
be constantly reminded of its availability!

Sorry for the little rant there, but this is really aggravating!

Tom,
My non-solution is to not close the message. Then it's still there, but doesn't take focus from where you left it.
Hope this helps.

Here's another solution that I've used myself and it worked a treat. I'm sure the original poster on another list won't mind me passing it on.

 

 

Hello Everyone.

Recently, people have been asking me how they can disable windows 10
icons and upgrade files from being downloaded to their systems and
Microsoft nagging them to upgrade. it should be an option, not under
handed tactics by microsoft to download files to your system. certain
users have also reported that the get windows10 icon has been affecting
productivity with certain apps. here's a quick way to permanently
disable the upgrade until you wish to reenable it and take advantage of
microsoft's offer.

first, download the following program and click save, do not click run.
you will need to save the file in case you need to upgrade at a later stage.

http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/GWX_control_panel.exe

After you've saved the file, click on it to launch it. the license
agreement will be displayed. click on i accept and continue. You will
see various buttons on the interface. If you see a disable windows10
upgrade option, click on it to disable the various programs and icons
that are running as part of the windows10 upgrade. when you run the tool
in future, it will give you the option to enable the upgrade as opposed
to disabling it. the program does offer other options to clear the
windows update cache, but you may not need them and they should only be
used as a last resort to remove windows files. If you do decide to clear
the windows update cache and downloaded windows10 files, your update
history will be reset and the windows update screen will show that you
have never previously installed any updates. updates you have hidden
will also have to be rehidden. for more information and a full
description of what the program does and how it works, visit the
author's page at:

Thanks Bill.

 

I’ll give this a try.

 

I’m a bit confused as to why I must initially go through the first step, and later hide the update when it comes back again, but I’ll cross that second bridge when I get there.

Does anyone have experience at using JAWS with the airbnb.com web site?  I played around with it just a bit, then decided I would be better off checking first so I don’t bang my virtual head against a wall of inaccessibility!  They have a regular web site and a version marked as for mobile, and the mobile site has about 40% fewer links.  Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Hello, Tom and all. Here is what someone posted a while back as to how to get rid of the "Get Windows 10 message".
 

 

How To Turn Off Windows10 Update Message In Windows7

 

 

Go to the run command and type in:

wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3035583

re-boot the system.
this will uninstall the update and then when the update comes back you
will need to hide the update and not install it.

To Hide the update:

 

updates need to be set to download but let me install them that way
when they are downloaded you should have a new updates in the task tray that you can click on and then you tab over to important updates Press enter on that to bring up the list of downloaded updates. down arrow through the list till you find the kb:3035583
update. Then uncheck the update with the Space Bar, and then right mouse click on it.

you can then tab to the ok button and
press enter on the install button if there's other updates to install.

Hello, everyone.

 

Yesterday, I ran malware bytes on my home Windows 7 PC, and ever since, I receive the “get windows 10” message every few minutes or so.  I can exit out of the message  using alt F4, but the message re-appears again soon thereafter.

 

How can I get rid of this message?

 

Personally, I find it not only annoying, but intrusive!

 

I do plan to upgrade to Windows 10 at some point, and don’t need to be constantly reminded of its availability!

 

Sorry for the little rant there, but this is really aggravating!

Dear list,

I’m running the latest build of Jaws 16 and for the last 1.5 weeks seem to be having a lot of trouble with facebook jumping around. I’ll be reading and try to make a comment only to find myself at the top of the page. Anyone else experiencing this? going to upgrade to 17 soon to see if that fixes the problem. Thanks fo any help

Alt+n a f should also work for multiple attachments as it does for a single
attachment, but I might be wrong of course as I haven't tested it.

Adrian,

You've done a pretty thorough job listing the various methods for handling attachments with jaws.

My go to method for accessing attachments sent to me is the shift + tab method as you describe. However as many of us know, this method does not always produce results. When I find nothing after back tabbing, I use the open all attachments option inn the file tab. It entails some extra steps since you then have to go to wherever the attachments have been saved to view them, but it works for me 99% of the time.

As for sending multiple attachments, I find the copy and paste most reliable. Just be sure your cursor is in the correct part of the message before you attempt to paste your second, third etc. attachments.

I hope this helpful.

Kimber,

You've done a much better job than I at following this thread. I wonder if it's possible for you, or anyone else, to complete a list of attachment methods. Here's a start, based on what I do (which seems similar to what you do):

1. When sending a message: Attach a file by copying from a files list with control-c and pasting into the message field of an email with control-v.

2. When sending a message: What is the best method for attaching several files?

3. With a received message: To locate an attachment above the message field, press shift-tab, then use the arrow keys to locate each attachment. (As Caroline says, the first attachment is some obscure thing for techies only.)

4. With a received message: To locate an attachment when there are three or more above the message field: This can involve a lot of trial-and-error arrowing. What is the best solution?

5. With a received message: To locate an attachment within the message field: I find insert-a often isolates it. Any better method, or an alternative for when insert-a doesn't work?

The "insert tab method" is the same as the keystrokes N A F as
described by Carolyn. It isn't my favorite method, but it works well
enough if, as you said, the files to be attached are not spread far
and wide throughout the system.

I suppose which method you choose has a lot to do with the comfort
level of the person creating the attachments. For me, copy and paste
has always been the most straightforward way to attach files and so
is the one I most often choose.

Kimber,

When you say "Copy and Paste" via the steps given by Carolyn on the
first paste a line labeled "Attached" along with an edit box with the name
of the attachment appears directly under the "Subject" label and edit box.
If you continue to copy and paste after that for additional attachments
they just appear next to the one(s) already listed in the edit box for
Attachments.

The ALT+N,AF method is great if the file or files you intend to
attach are in a single folder, and that folder is not hard to navigate to
from wherever you happened to attach a file from the last time you used that
method. When the files are spread out all over the place that's when I use
the copy and paste method but with Search Everything being the method of
doing the file finds. If you know the name of the file you're looking for,
and you use distinctive file names, it's much faster to find an individual
file that way for copy/paste than navigating within a browse dialog and
having to go "long distances" in the tree to locate the files.

What is the "insert tab" method? I may have to try that one if
it's easier for my clients.

I haven’t heard about usenet in several years. When I did I understood that people had to pay to access it through a provider. I too would be interested in finding out its current status.

Hello everyone,
First of all, my apologies to the list because this may be off topic, but I couldn't find a way to sign up for this group, and wasn't sure if it even existed anymore.
I am interested in learning about Usenet, and had a few questions on how to get started with it, and didn't know if any of yall used it or not, so I figured I'd reach out. I would be using my phone to download content, and the content I'm wanting to download is movies, music, etc. I did some reading on Google, but figured maybe talking with someone hands-on would be better for me to grasp how to begin learning.
If you wanna get with me off list, that's totally fine. You can reach me at hshaneclark@....
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance, Shane.

I'm also having difficulties in Facebook. I've commented or written a
post on any given page, checked it before posting and then, when I post
it, all that comes up is the first letter! So upgrading to JAWS 17 does
not solve the problem. Instead, I've had to go back to JAWS 15 and, only
then, am I able to post messages or comments on Facebook without the
embarrassment of only the first letter showing up!

Re: Secure Shell (ssh) client for MS-Windows and JAWS

I use the ssh and sftp packed through cygwin without problems. Note
that if you go that route you should run the cygwin.bat found in the
cygwin root directory and not the mintty that modern cygwin uses by
default.

them from the command line.

Advice welcome.
