Hi Mr. Ed, Checking / turning on the Windows Explorer option is not what made Jaws announce the safe to remove message, that only makes the Safe to Remove icon appear in the system tray, for me anyways. I had to make a sound change in the Control panel / Sounds link / Sounds page to make Jaws announce / report the message. This thread started out discussing Jaws not reporting the safe to remove message, & morfed into how to make the icon show in the system tray. LOL Take care. Mike. 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.

So I am just guessing that this instructions on how to turn that command on in W10 is not the answer for how to turn it on. I am running Jaws 2222018 and W10 the latest.

When I want to remove an external drive using the Safe to Remove option from the system tray Jaws does not, Safe To Remove Hardware: The 'USB Mass Storage Device' device can now be safely removed from the computer. when I press enter on the drive I want to disconnect. How can I get Jaws to announce the above message in Widows 10? I've been through Sounds in the control panel, but couldn't find it there, but did I overlook it? All help will be greatly appreciated.
