Re: Switching To Classic View In Windows 10 for Windows 7-type View
Marty Hutchings
Is it possible to put a link to the Applications folder on the start
menu? I use the All Programs menu in Windows 7 a lot to find those
programs that I didn’t have on the desktop or task bar.

try this link for html coding:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ I learned just by looking at code by others and just started creating my own code using examples. I did the same with basic programming and I even cracked the gbbs code back in the bbs daysback in the 1980's and 1990's with the gbbs code. was a lot of fun!

easy it is to access the universal apps and desktop applications you use every day . assuming you do so from either Start or the taskbar. But one thing Windows 10 doesn't provide is a way to create a shortcut to these apps so you can launch them from the desktop or elsewhere. Or, at least an obvious way. But as it turns out, all of the applications installed on your PC, including the universal apps that come with Windows 10 or are downloaded from Windows Store are accessible from a hidden shell view called Applications. Once you open this view in File Explorer, you can create shortcuts for any of them. Open the Run dialog (Windows+R=run), type in: shell:AppsFolder and then press enter to view this folder. apps-folder Find an app you wish to create a shortcut for, right-click (applications key, or, shift+f10 and choose Create shortcut from the pop-up menu that appears. create-shortcut You'll be prompted that the shortcut cannot be placed here, and Windows will recommend placing it on the desktop instead. Press enter on Yes. A shortcut with the name App-Name Shortcut (Mail Shortcut) will appear on the desktop. You can leave this as-is, or rename it (I usually remove the word, Shortcut). And you can of course move the shortcut to any folder as needed. Now, just repeat for all the app shortcuts you need. The impossible is the untried, Never under estimate the power of a dream.

Using latest Filezilla,I am attempting to upload a fairly large rar file to an FTP site and although the file test extracts on my system without errors, it will not extract at the other end. This has been attempted numerous times with the same result.
Does anyone know if this is because of the rar format being used or some other problem. What if the zip or some other format was used instead.
Failing that, how can I use one of the sites where a file can be uploaded and then downloaded by another person? Although I have used one of these sites to download a file, I know nothing about uploading a file and making it available for another person.
Thanks Tom

I am about to purchase a new laptop, which, of course, will have Windows 10 as its operating system. I have heard from several sources that you can configure a Windows 10 computer to have a classic view, which resembles the Windows 7 configuration. This sounds quite appealing to me, since it will make the switch to Windows 10 much easier. Can someone tell me if this is true; and if it is, can you tell me how to accomplish this? I hope this isn't considered too "off topic", but I can say that I'll be using the latest build of Jaws 2018 on the new Windows 10 machine. Thank you!

How do you get the shut down sound, and how do you get to the start can't seem to find that.

Having said this I'd like to remind people that just because you hear the shutdown sound the computer has shut down. Just a couple of days ago I shut down my laptop in the morning, the shutdown sound played and I didn't check further. When I came back from work that evening my wife saw that the laptop was still on beccause some program which was running had blocked the shutdown and prompted me to either Force the Shutdown or to Cancel and save my work before trying again. Sometime this dialogue speaks, but I find it is not always the case. Regards, Sieghard

Re: Accessing html source code with JAWS in internet explorer
ratshtron
hmmm, I have used dream weaver and a free program called html2 for creating html code, but if you know code, you can also simply use notepad to write the code and save the file as a .txt file and then change the .txt to .html or .php depending on the code used.

install just what you need without any unwanted, unnecessary free toolbars and similar programs. . just find and check the check box for the chrome browser, and find and activate the download button. the web installer will download, find and enter on the installer, and in a minute or so, chrome will be installed and waiting for you to use.

Re: Trying to format a krupt usb stick
Dave Durber
Hello There:
I would delete the larger partition, if it existed
but, when the program I was using to create the Windows installation partition
from the .ISO file, would be deleted from the memory stick, I had to agree, even
though, I had reduced the maximum available storage space to 40 GB, to make sure
there would be enough space for the smaller Windows installation
partition.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

To add one more thing, in Windows 10 you can still assign hotkeys to applications, like control-alt-j for Jaws.

I ran Classic shell when I first updated my previous computer from Windows 8 to 10, and after a while, removed it and focused on Windows 10. It isn't that hard, and in fact, I like it much better. Richard "Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it." — Jane Wagner

Re: Trying to format a krupt usb stick
fenderwal@...
Sorry I hadn't been following this thread, but have you tried deleting not the 7.5Gb partition, but the larger one instead? Just a thought.

On Behalf Of Dave Durber
Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2018 7:06 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Trying to format a krupt usb stick
Hello Brian:
I have a 64 GB memory stick, on which I created a partition to install Windows from an ISO image.
Unfortunately, when I tried to use the Windows Partition and Format utility to remove the partition containing the Windows installation and return the memory stick back to 64 GB, I got an error telling me that the "Delete Volume function was Unavailable", which meant that the partition could not be deleted/removed.
Following the information you gave in your previous message, I downloaded and used the ImageUSB utility.
The problem is, that when I selected the option to zero the USB Memory stick to return it to its maximum storage capacity of 64 GB, ImageUSB got rid of the information in the Windows installation partition but, it did not delete/remove the 7.5 GB partition, which was the size of the Windows Installation partition.
Any suggestions as to what I may have not done correctly?
