Hello George:
 
Unfortunately, they will not be in the Recycle Bin Folder because, when I deleted the folder containing the  files, I used the SHIFT+DELETE command, which bypasses the Recycle Bin, which is why I need the accessible file recovery software.
 
Thank you for your suggestion.

Well they should  be in your recycle trash folder on your desktop.

 

Go to the icon and hit enter and it should open

 

Then alt h for the ribbon and in there is a choice to replace all files back to their original place

Hello everyone:

 

The subject says it all. I accidentally deleted the contents of a folder on one of my hard drives. So, now, I am looking for file recovery software which is accessible using a screen reader, so I can try and recover the deleted files.

 

In the past, I have used File Scavenger, but I found it finiky to use. One of my difficulties was, recovering deleted files in a specific folder location.

 

I hou someone on the list can help.

There are good tools on the WinPe ISO.
Actually, if you have WinPe on a USB drive or a DVD, in the root there is a folder called "programs".
Copy that to your c: root and there are good file and partition recovery tools there that will run in your Windows, without booting to WinPe.
HTH.

Thanks very much for the tip! I just checked using Chrome, and it works just like you describe. So Chrome is the clear solution. I would still like to get IE configured to give me a solution like Chrome uses. Does anyone know how I can do that?

I am using firefox or chrome and do not get this at all, it gives me
the option to save the file or open it in my current default reader.
My only problem is that sometimes when I open the document, I don't
get anything, but it usually works.

If you were Elfaba, you might charge more than $150, but since you are Glenda, it depends on what State you are scripting in.

Not all States pay as much as California.

But, if in California, do as Californians do.

Hi Jonathan,

 

If I did get into Flexible web it was completely by accident. I’ll check it out and hopefully resolve my issue. I do, however, occasionally have weird Jaws behavior in other apps, so I fear it might go deeper. But I will definitely try Flexible web settings first. If that doesn’t do it, it’s a call to tech support for me.

the only reason I can think that this might happen would be if you have flexible web rules enabled on the site. If you do, then Radio button 5 in the Flexible web dialog should be available in the flexible web dialog.  There aren't really any other ways in JAWS settings that would hide links.

Moderated Re: How do I play podcasts with pocket casts on my pc?

JM Casey
 

I don’t know Pocket Podcasts or what it is or how it works, but have you tried using the jaws cursor/left mouse click? That is often  a solution. Sometimes too you could route the jaws cursor, which is the same as the mouse pointer, to a location on screen and then actaully click the mouse.

 

If the programme is one of those new Universal Apps that doesn’t actaully work with the JAWS cursor, the touch cursor might do what you need – I haven’t a lot of experience with that as I tend to avoid those apps. There is a new cursor in JAWS that is supposed to replace JAWS cursor in some apps called the Scan cursor, but as I am not using JAWS 2020, I am not really sure how it works.

A previous answer to the parent document question. It worked!


I assume this is happening in Internet Explorer.
Do the following .
Alt t - Tools
o - Internet Options
Control+tab to Programs
tab to Manage Add-ons
Tab to Filter combo box
Move up to all Add-ons and hit enter to select
Tab to the list of add-ons
The Adobe entry should look like this.
Name Adobe PDF Reader
Publisher Adobe Inc.
Status Disabled
Architecture 32-bit and 64-bit
If it is not disabled you need to make this change.
Open parent document is caused by IE trying to open the document in the
browser. By disabling this add-on it should cause Adobe reader to be opened
externally so you can read the document.

I want to know what people usually charge per hour to write JAWS scripts.  I know what the big a11y firms charge (tends to be over $150 per hour).  I'm also seeing $150 an hour listed as the rate for the California Governments Department of Rehabilitation https://www.dor.ca.gov/Cal-atsd/Service/Details?id=206

What do y'all think the hourly rate for JAWS scripting is?

Thanks so much,
Glenda the Goodwitch

In addition to setting adobe reader as the default pdf reader you need to go into adobe reader and disable the setting "open in internet browser" or something like that.

Hi All,

 

When I am using Internet Explorer and press on a link that goes to a PDF document, it opens with only a button to “open parent document”.  Try as I might, nothing happens, and I cannot get to the document.  The type of link is one where it does not give me the option of saving the target. 

 

How can I set things up so I either get the option of opening or saving, or that the document opens with Adobe.

 

Thanks!

Hi Tim,
 
When you come across this try pressing, Alt + f, to open the file menu, press enter on, Save as, select PDF and follow the prompts to download.

Take care.  Mike.  Sennt from my iBarstool.

I’m having the same issues. I can’t seem to make it work. I need to read my prior bank statements. They are only available in PDF. I’m sick of that Open Parent Window button. It does nothing.

Tim, you can change it in the Window settings App.

You might need to do a search in the Apps search box for “default”, chose Default Files. There are a lot of extensions in the group, but you can tab until you finally  get to PDF. The default will be Edge, press inter then find your choice and press inter.

 

Usually you can highlight a file, press the applications key and look for “open With,” but I didn’t see it on the PDF file I chose.
