Has anyone else noticed JAWS isn't announcing when participants enter and leave Zoom meetings lately? I noticed it about a week ago, but I don't think there were any JAWS or Zoom updates that week--not until yesterday anyway.

Hello,  I just received an offer from Amazon Prime for a $15 credit if I upload photos to Amazon Photos.  I have downloaded the desktop ap for Amazon Photos and using windows 10, JAWS 21 and Google Chrome, I get nothing spoken when trying to navigate this program.  Are any of you using Amazon Photos on a PC and have any suggestions for me as to how to upload pictures?

Good morning everyone, 

Using the latest jaws update on a windows 10 computer, Have any of you gone too look on the Netflix web site, too try and do a search for a movie that’s on there?  It seems that when using Google  chrome,  I can’t seem to find where I should put in my movie too search for  field.

Dear list

I need assistance with reading MS Word documents containing Math Type
equations. JAWS is making a complete hash of the equations (either not
reading, or recognising them as a single object/graphic) and I can't
figure out why. To avoid a protracted exchange on this list, it might
be best to take the conversation to email if there is someone who is
able to assist. I'm quite desperate as I have an MBA class block
commencing in three weeks with a wonderful accounting module thrown
in. Please drop me a line or respond on this list if you are able to
assist--I'd be hugely indebted.

Warmly
Carina

Mike and others,

The Recent folder has been around since at least Windows 98, and the contents are only shortcuts to the files, folders, and urls that you have accessed.

You can choose not to use the recent folder if you wish, and if there are no items being displayed in this folder,

it is not

necessarily a fault of the operating system, but a settings change by the user.

The easiest way to get to the folder, is to type the following in the run dialogue:

 

recent

 

and press enter.

Once in the folder select one of the entries, and then open the properties of that entry, and you will see that it is a shortcut

and that at least in Windows 10 the only tab in this dialogue is the shortcut tab.

Below is an url that has information about the Recent folder.

Hi Brian,

 

To add to what you've said and please tell me if this is correct or not, I need to have Quick Access enabled / employed for the, " symbolic links", to be stored in the Recent Files folder along with being told how many in Word.  I've never used Quick Access so I believe this is why I don't have anything stored there.  Thanks much.

 

 

Stay safe & take care.  Mike.

Mike,

That's because you don't.  The recent files list is a Windows feature and Recent Files gets populated based on exactly which files you've been working with most recently.  As Sharon's message indicates, there can be quite a few because you can set the length of the "recent files list" available in programs such as MS-Word, etc.  

But you don't directly manage Recent Files, Windows does, and I'll bet my bottom dollar that no actual file ever gets stored there, just symbolic links to files.

Just my two cents

I think you are setup as an IMAP account

Use, Alt+V, for the view menu and select, change view

From the select view, use arrows to locate IMAP, press enter on IMAP and the Insert+NumPad3 will give you accurate info.

HTH

Sorry, not sure how to fix that then.

Russell

I did that and both of those are checked and I still got what I said



Hi Mike,

 

Try to go to the status bar by pressing F6, and once there press either the applications key or Shift F10, and from the menu that pops up, make sure “Items in view” and “Unread items in view” are checked.

 

HTH,

 

Russell

Indeed.  But what Richard offered was the direct link to the home page of the Microsoft Office Accessibility Discussion Group on Groups.io.  Every group's home page has a section, Group Email Addresses, where the subscription, unsubscription, posting, group owner, and help message addresses are listed.  Every Groups.io member should be able to go to one of these pages, when offered, and snag the email address or addresses for that group that they need or want at the moment.

I keep hoping that Groups.io members who do interact primarily or exclusively by e-mail will still use the resources that Groups.io gives them via its own webpages when it comes to things like this.  They have a search facility for all their public groups as well, and that can come in really handy at times, provided you don't get overly specific with the search criteria.  It's one of the few places where I start with the minimum number of search terms, and then add if needed to narrow things down, rather than using several at the outset.

I'll also mention again that Groups.io gives email users all sorts of options as far as what shows up in their inboxes that are not available on other mailing list services.  Have a read through, Controlling the Messages You Receive via E-Mail from Groups.io (docx), if you're interested in knowing about them.

Mike,

Have you tried the instructions given by Mike B in this message:  https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/message/91029?

If you have nothing in the Recent Items folder I would almost have to say something is wrong with your Windows installation.  This folder gets populated automatically, by Windows, on a constant and ongoing basis.

And I just tested out what I suggested previously.  I saved a file from Notepad on my desktop.  I opened the Recent Files folder (and if you sort it by Date Modified as opposed to File Name the ordering is more logical for what a Recent Files folder is all about) and located the item for that file, which is a shortcut (AKA symbolic link).  I deleted the item in Recent Files and it has no impact whatsoever on the actual file itself where it was saved, which is precisely what I had expected.
