In Windows 10 Alt + 2 is the Windows keyboard shortcut to create a new folder, maybe Control + Shift + N also is, but in official Windows 10 keyboard shortcut reference tables it is Alt + 2.

Hi David,

Thanks. I used to hit control+ N. And that doesn’t work any more. Didn’t know about control + shift + N.

Hi.

The quickest way to create a new folder is to first open the folder that you want the folder to be created in. In other words, if you want to create a subfolder in your Documents folder open the Documents folder. Next, press shift-ctrl-N. You will be in an edit field. Type the name of the folder that you want to create, followed by the enter key.

Hi Listers,

 

Now that I have Windows 10 and JAWS 2020, I can’t figure out how to create a new folder. It used to be really easy, but I can’t do it the way I used to. Please help.

 

Thanks for any help.

When I hit control alt delete, I can get to task manager but not device
manager.

Don,

hit control +alt +delete key (above arrow keys)
arrow down to device manager and hit enter
arrow down until you hear programs currently running. Microsoft Word for
example.
If this is what is not being able to close, once you hear the MS Word, hit
tab key until you hear close program and hit enter. It may take a few
attempts hitting the close program button and may also take a few seconds
to
close the program. If other programs are needing closed, shift tab back to
the list and arrow up or down until you hear the next program needing
closed. again hit tab until you hear close program and hit enter. Repeat
as
needed...

Rick

Thanks for your response. I can't use F4 with other functions. Not sure
what task manager is or how to use it.

Are you able to use alt +4 to kill other applications?

Are you able to kill the problematic apps using the task manager and task
function?

Thanks,abraham

Subject: Alt F4 Frozen

Yesterday a friend helped me fill in the province of British Columbia's
speculation tax form online. He ran into a snag, so started again with a
fresh format and we sent the completed form off. I could not close the
first form but shut down the computer. I don't know if it's related, but
since then I cannot close Word files or emails. I can open and read them
and move them, but I can't close them. If I'm in my email list, I can
use

Alt tab to get out of an open email, then delete or move it, but the open
email is still there. I assume that somehow I've frozen the Alt F4
function. My only resort is to shut down the computer. When I start it
up again, emails I've deleted both from In and Deleted folders reappear.
Any thoughts?

I'm using Windows 10 and JAWS 17, though I plan to purchase JAWS 2020 in
a

few weeks.

I'd appreciate any help.

Don

Its not you.

Amazon is broken, and has been for a couple of months.

You might try their accessibility site: www.amazon.com/access

But no promises there.

 

On their site they have a customer service toll free number, I’d call that as well.

Subject: Amazon checkout with JAWS 2020

 

Has the Amazon checkout become more complicated or is it just me?

 

When I use Firefox, I get to the checkout part and I get a message that says there was an error. When I use IE I can get through it, but it still seems more difficult. Anyone else notice this?

 

Thanks.

Open the email

Hit tab and it will move to the attachement line and it should read attachement and it’s title and size

From there you can hit shift f10 and arrow down to what you wish to do

In fact, jaws reads the email before I open it as having an attachment; however, when I open it with Insert+a Jaws reports: "there are no attachments."

Good morning: I'm using Jaws 18 with windows 10. When someone sends me an email in outlook with a screenshot attached, I can't find it with jaws to open it. I have to use my iPhone. Is there a way to find the actual .PNG file with jaws in the body of the email?

Thank you.

It's not reading where the attachment is so I can't open it.
