A Couple of Questions
|
Barbara <batterseye@...>
Hello Everyone,
I migrated to JAWS last month. I am still earning things of course. My first question is for Windows 7, Windows Explorer. If I go through the list of folders etc. using the up or down arrow, how do I hear the amount of space that specific folder or drive is using? Next I just used Duxbury for the first time since I migrated. I got a message asking me if I wanted to have the JAWS scripts installed. I selected yes and the Duxbury restarted as indicated. I was wondering if there may be other JAWS scripts which I may find of use. How do I find a list? Does Goldwave have a similar script? I did not get a similar prompt when I used Goldwave in the past few weeks. Thanks in advance for any help. Barbara

as for the explorer question, do you have the view set to detail? if so,

I believe you should be able to simply right arrow to it, or it may also involve using the Windows classic theme.

Hi Barbara,
Withe a drive or folder highlighted,
try the following:
1. Press, Alt + Enter, to open the
drive / folder properties.
2. Route the Jaws cursor to the PC
cursor by pressing, Insert / Jaws Key + NumPad Minus / Jaws cursor
key.
3. Press the, Pageup / 7 key, to
take the cursor to the top of the screen, & arrow down 1 line at a time to
get all the size, used space, & free space information.
Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree.

In File Explorer, make sure you're using the Details View. Move the selection to the file you're interested in, then use right-arrow until you reach the "size" column.

Windows does not give size info for folders. Just files and drives. If you want to know the size of a folder you have to alt + enter on the folder then use the jaws cursor to read the size of the folder by arrowing up until you hear the size of the folder.
