moderated jfw and problem deleting more files than I want!!!;
|
G. Gray
Hi
List-
Well I have
noticed a problem with Jaws and deleting files. I had four files on a
thumb drive I wanted to get rid of. I highlighted them and then hit the
delete key. Well, all my files, (not folders) were deleted from the thumb
drive. I was able to recover most of them, but it took a lot of time and
work and worry!!!
I then tried
it on another thumb drive with NVDA....no problem, worked great!
Then I went
back to Jaws and voila....it happened again, although this time I was ok.
Anyone have this kind of issue? BTW can anyone recommend a good back up
program that works with Jaws.
BTW I am
using Windows 7 (up to date) and the latest and greatest version of Jaws.
From now on...I think I will delete one file at a time, rather than multiple
file delete.
BTW I used
the following to delete:
shift...down
arrow and then delete
and I checked
and highlighted ONLY the 4 files to delete...thanks.
Regards,
George Think about: 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In just the last 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism, and Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign; But Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation (after Hillary sold them 20% of our uranium…illegally). But President Trump was the one investigated! (Proverbs 29:2)

Hi George,
One thing you can do with Jaws is to press insert +
number pad 2 while still holding the shift key, or before letting go of the
shift key, this will tell you what is currently selected.
You mentioned that you checked to see what was
highlighted, but I am not sure if you used the above command to check
this.
HTH.

If your 4 files were not one right after another then your command would have highlighted all files. If you want to select several files which are not together you have to go to the first one, press and hold the control key and then arrow to the next one, once you get there press spacebar and continue like this without ever letting go of the control key. I often delete multiple files and I have never had the problem you describe with Jaws.
