I think the following will fix your problem...
Go to control panel
Next, go to folder options
Then go to view tab
Tab to "files and folders"
right arrow to open tree view
arrow down to "use check boxes to select items" - select off
Tab to okay and hit enter
That will get rid of those checkboxes after things on the desktop, I
think that is what you are trying to do, if I understood your question
correctly.
Good luck,
Scott

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Windows Vista Settings Dealing With Lists
Hello To All;
I am assisting a relatively new screen reader/computer user via the
phone. He is running Vista 64 bit on a Dell laptop. What I hear while
on the desktop or in any other list is the name of the list item
followed by the statement "Checked" or "Not Checked." For instance,
while using the arrow keys through the desktop icons, it says Recycle
bin not checked; WordPerfect Checked; and so on. I have Vista myself
and will search through the settings, but if anyone here knows the
answer I would appreciate it. I attempted to Google this inquiry but
the search terms used yielded no answer. Sure there was just about
every other possible answer for problems not our own provided by Google,
but no luck locating the info I sought.
Thanks,
Mauricio
