I try to keep my computers awake.  When they go to sleep, they don't get
email; then, if they've slept long, it take a long time to catch up on
the mail download.  I guess it's different for different folks.

Hello,

Brian, the sleep option does occur in my power menu, and I can put my
computer to sleep hitting that option. I presume the power menu you
mention is the one brought up when closing a session is attempted. Let
me know if the power menu is something else.

Dan, contacting Microsoft Disability is a good suggestion. I’ll do
that if I don’t get any more suggestions here.

Thanks,

Paul

The command line is, sadly, not used nearly as often as it once was, and for bulk/batch operations, it's often much easier to do it that way.  You can pipe the output from one command listing the files you want to convert to the converter and away it goes.  No typing involved.

I got into the world of computing in the early 1980s, which is several eons ago in the computer world.  One of the quotations that went into my quotes file in the developing days of the GUI, and that I still believe, is:

A GUI is to a command-line as a TV is to a book.

There is insane power and ease with command line interfaces that simply have never been replicated in GUIs.  You just have to learn "all the tricks," and that has not been happening for quite a few years now, in general.

Before it died my HP all-in-one was connected by ethernet and would print but I could not select it as a scanner.

Yes it’s turned on as am able to use it and have used it today etc. with the scanner part of the devices software or drivers that are loaded.

There’s only one choice showing up to choose from.

So wondering if the problem is that have my all in one connected through the network or ethernet connection instead of usb?

Haven’t tried that as am able to scan and print etc. with no problems when needed with things set up the way have them. I was  just that was trying to see if would obtain a cleaner scan result after scanned.

Thanks.

Personally, I'm with Curtis on this one.  I have never liked VLC's Windows application implementation.  It just seems to me to be insanely complicated compared to any one of a number of other options.  Now, mind you, if you need some of the myriad features that come with VLC, it's wonderful, but if all I'm doing is playing and/or ripping CDs, Windows Media Player is just so much easier for those tasks.  It still ships with Windows 10.  I just set up a Windows 11 machine here at home the other day so I'll have to check whether it's still hidden "in the bowels of Windows 11" just like it was in 10.

For anyone new to VLC I strongly suggest you open Help in the Help Menu then go to the links given at the very outset of their help file.  I am copying and pasting the pertinent section from that Help here:

You can find VLC documentation on VideoLAN's wiki website.

If you are a newcomer to VLC media player, please read the
Introduction to VLC media player.

You will find some information on how to use the player in the
"How to play files with VLC media player" document.

For all the saving, converting, transcoding, encoding, muxing and streaming tasks, you should find useful information in the Streaming Documentation.

If you are unsure about terminology, please consult the knowledge base.

To understand the main keyboard shortcuts, read the shortcuts page.

Help

Before asking any question, please refer yourself to the FAQ.
-------------
If you consult one or more of the above noted sources, you can and will find almost anything one could need to know about VLC and how to use it.  There are resources aimed at the new user through the expert level, so choose accordingly.  The FAQ is something that should be looked at.

Can anyone give me directions on how to put a shortcut on to my desktop? I am trying to create a desktop shortcut for OneNote on my desktop.

I am finding OneNote in my list of programs after hitting control-escape and arrowing down to OneNote, I hit my applications key and do not see an option to add a shortcut to the desktop. I thought this is how I did it in the past.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a Sleep option showing up in your Power Menu?

Good morning everyone, 

Sometime yesterday morning, I went into the VLC media application which is on my desktop, and received a message that said, that there was an update for this program which I installed.  My question here is, I don’t see any options on how too either how too rip or burn a CD, or any option that says anything about how too set a file  bits rate like there used too be in older versions of windows media  player.

If anyone has experience with this newer player, I would appreciate any help and advice on how too go about doing any of these things with this newer version. 

Thanks in advance, 

Al    

Hello,

I have an HP all-in-1.  I find if I use HP Scan and Capture and a lot of patience with the JAWS cursor I can select to scan a document.  Once the scan is complete the buttons and menus are fairly accessible.  I save my document to the desktop in a pdf format and then I can choose the OCR with JAWS.  If you just want to read a document, I find that scanning/capturing with my phone produces good results, too. 

Hope this helps,

Lee Anne

Hi Brian,

The balabolka text program is a console version of Balabolka and can
exactly do what you want.
It can convert different formats to text and also in a batch.

The Balabolka program with the gui you are talking about is indeed a
program that can create audio-versions of texts.

Kind regards, Marten

Balabolka ( http://balabolka.site/balabolka.htm ) is not my "go to" program for this sort of conversion, even though it can do it.  I think of it more when I want text to audio.  But it's certainly a fine tool if you use that feature set.
