Sorry, Bill, I skipped an essential step here. Don't ask me why, but even if you open the hardware tab by opening a given device's properties, there is a hardware list at the top of that tab, and

I'll answer again, as best I can. For virtually any write task that involves a single small file, or even a few small files. It's just done before you or I or any human being could possibly move

Hi, Brian. I inserted a thumb drive. I brought up the properties, switched to the hardware tab, clicked the device properties button, clicked the Change settings button, and there was no policies tab.

I ask again, sort of, how do we know a write task is done without sight? Maria Campbelllucky1inct@...Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.~ Blaise Pascal ~ On

I actually seldom use anything on the drive itself as far as thumb drives or SD cards go to determine whether a task is finished writing. Virtually anything where I'm copying, saving, etc., to a

Which can only occur if you pull while a write process is active, period, as far as the end-user action being able to cause an issue. They're not write-cached, either, as they're considered USB

An external drive is easy to tell if activity has stopped, for ejection purposes, but not other devices, such as thumb drives or the VR Stream. As a sighted person you may tell by looking,

You can say that. The picture Smart really did a good job on describing it. Thanks for asking. best regards Michael Munn Michael Munn Member: Virginia Association of Blind students National

Maybe so, but I have seen SD cards corrupted because someone didn’t use the Safely Remove Hardware option. And their system wasn’t customized. Bill White billwhite92701@...

I'm not arguing with anything else but this. The Eject/Safely Remove Hardware function is an anachronism in all but the very rarest of circumstances. All the way back to Windows 7 Microsoft changed

 Hi Steve, With all due respect, System Tray icons can be rearranged! I just learned that the Badges option needs to be turned off and here are my corrected steps: Here's how I rearrange the

Yes, it is, because if you have Show All Icons in System Tray turned off, not all icons show up in JAWS Key plus F11. If you don’t have them show up, and something goes haywire, such as you need the

Steve, "Critical" is in the eye of the beholder. Also, a great many people prefer to use a "screen reader agnostic" access method to the system tray, WinKey+B, then right arrow through.

I'm not even sure what the objective is here. When the System Tray is opened with JAWS Key + F11, you can use first-letter navigation to find anything. Is it that critical to have the icons

That is not technically correct. I still haven't found a way via the keyboard, even using emulated drag and drop, but it can be done via actual drag and drop. If something is driving you absolutely

Not that I'm surprised that some don't know certain keyboard commands for JAWS, as there are so many that I don't think anyone has all of them memorized, particularly the desktop and laptop

You and Mike B have a confusion. You want to rearrange system tray icons. This is not possible. Mike B explained how to arrange taskbar icons. This is absolutely possible, with one caveat: Any new

Mike, Thank you for this list! Although many of us may use a lot of these commands, there are some in the list that I didin’t know and they will help me tremendously. Terrie

Hi Takis, I hope this will help those that use laptops without numpads. Here are the numpad keystrokes for laptops without numpads and the URL for many more keystrokes.

Thanks you very much Heather. Take care, Takis
