The description of your process sounds as if you're trying to get real fancy-shmancy about your method for deleting portions of filenames. Why not just press F2, then hit the home key, then start pressing the delete key until you hear that the part you don't want in the filename is gone, then hit the Enter key to exit and save the change?

When I get emails I wish to save, I hit the menu, select save, and I can then save the email to my hard disk. Some of the emails are from recipe listservs, so they have the listserv's name at the beginning of the file name. If I am still in OE, I can select the portion of the filename using the control shift right arrow key combo and WE speaks what is being selected. But if I forget to do this, and save the file to my hard disk, and later open window explorer, and hit the F2 key to rename the file, and do the same key combo, WE does not read /speak the portion being selected. I had to reinstall WE 7.2 a week ago because I removed an app and WE started throwing errors at me. I tried to submit the error to GWmicro, but that froze my computer solid. My question, after all this explaination is this, how can I get WE to speak the selected text in Windows explorer when I am selecting text to delete in a file name? Not sure if I am missing a setting in WE, or if I have an APP that is messing up the process. Thanks for any help.
