If I may ask, what does BEP stand for?

And, while not a podcast, the search results from, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Excel+screen+reader, include a lot of information about using Excel with a Screen Reader, including some material on YouTube.  This is one of those areas where a lot has been generated.  I'd say that MS-Word, MS-Excel, and MS-Outlook have all gotten "the royal treatment" when it comes to availability of material on using them with a screen reader.

You've already received great advice so far.  There's no real difference, from the end-user on the computer perspective, between an external HDD, SSD, or thumb drive.  All will just show up in File Explorer as another drive on the system.

I do have several suggestions, the first of which is to think about assigning a drive letter of your own choosing for an external HDD using Disk Management (which you can find via a search on "partitions" and will show up as the top result as "Create and format hard disk partitions."   In this case you won't be doing either of the two things mentioned in the title.   The reason I suggest this, and that I do it for myself, is that it makes it much easier to know that when you see something like drive V showing up in your File Explorer that you know exactly which drive you're dealing with.  There are times when automatic drive letter assignment can get confusing as devices are inserted and removed.

Second, since you're a Windows 10 user, if you are not using File History to keep a backup of your precious user data I suggest you do so.

Third, if you don't currently have a full system image backup protocol in place, where you run said backup on a monthly basis, nuking the old backups immediately after the latest is taken (or at least all but the two most recent) consider doing that, too.

If you open Control Panel>AutoPlay, and cause removable drives to open with
File Explorer, you don't even need to go to File Explorer to find the drive.
It pops up the minute you insert the drive. Then you can find the folder
into which you want to paste your files, and paste them from the clipboard.
Just copy the files to the clipboard before inserting the thumb drive, then
paste them when the drive pops up, and you open the folder where you want to
paste the files.

The answer is, "No."   I have been warning people about this on every screen-reader-focused group on which I participate.   IE has been receiving nothing but security updates for years now, and is woefully out of date and out of sync with contemporary web coding standards.  There are many sites which are using coding standards that came into existence after development of IE ceased, and they know that they will not work correctly with IE, and have code built-in to detect the browser and block entry with IE.

I go into this computer then usually hit ctr. Then, the end key. That takes
me to the bottom of the list where generally external devices are. Then as
mentioned after opening it, paste the contents from the other source into
the ext. drive. As with computers, there are many ways to do things, some

There is no point calling Vispero about something like that, it is completely unrelated to Jaws and even if Jaws had something to do with it, one could hardly expect them to still support a version which was released in 2013 and which is now 5 versions and almost 6 years out of date, in 4 months Jaws 2020 will come out and then there will already be 6 major releases since Jaws 15. II guess for some people it’s sufficient to stay with one computer and this setup for so long, but it is clear that with each year they will most likely run into more issues and potential compatibility problems like the one that was described with certain websites not supporting a discontinued browser. IE may remain on life support so to speak for a number of years, but I think in many cases even large corporations who may have internal websites which were built for that may still use it for that, but their employees may use browsers like Chrome to access the rest of the Internet.

If the original poster encounters a website or web sites which don’t support IE any more or don’t work well with it then there is nothing that can be done except to use a different browser. I wasn’t even aware that Jaws 15 had Chrome support, I remember once having some sort of issue last year and I reinstalled Jaws 16 on a PC for testing purposes and I seem to remember that it didn’t work with Chrome.

Sieghard

Any solutions to this issue will be appreciated.
