Using xp, service pak 3, we 7.5.4.1. When I'm in explorer and have one file selected, ctrl-shift-m says the name of the file. As I select other files, ctrl-shift-m speaks parts or all of the name of the files selected. Not sure, but apparently, it is designed to read a certain mumber of characters of the file name column, or a given number of picxel spaces. This works regardless of whether I've maximized the screen or not. The amount of spoken text for each file name is the same. And yes, ctrl-shift-s does list all the selected items, but one has to listen to the entire entry for each item.

When I am in Windows Explorer and press Control-Shift-M, I hear the message, “no text selected,” when I know my cursor is on a file name. I can tell that 1 file is selected when I read the screen with the mouse and reach the line that says “1 item selected.” If I press Shift-Down Arrow twice, the line that the mouse is on will tell me three items are selected. However pressing Control-Shift-M will still say “No text selected.” I don’t think this is a problem with the beta because it started while I was still using 7.5.4.1 However, since the beta didn’t change this, I would like suggestions for fixing it.
