Right. I am not very familiar with Windows 7 because I only used it for a brief time at work. However I just wanted to add that in Win 10 at least, you don't even need to use the find command, because the search box is right there in your explorer window, ready to help you narrow down your file list. I just tested it myself by putting *.txt in the search box for my documents folder. All .docx, .pdf and other files disappeared from the list, and it automatically shows subfolders as well.

If you open your documents folder in Windows 10, and earlier versions too, you can do a find command Control-f Or F3 And simply type the file extension you're looking for with the period before the letters:. For example: .docx (note: d o c x) .jpg .txt No need to press enter. The results just appear and you can arrow down through them and delete one by one or select as usual and delete. HTH.

In essence, there shouldn't really be a need for an external file manager. But maybe if you explain exactly what it is you want to do, it will be more clear what steps you should take. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: June 1, 2018 1:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] file manager Hi. Perhaps I'm not understanding something in this request, but you mentioned DoS, so why don't you just use command line to do this? del *.dat, del j?????.txt, etc, etc, still works just as well as it did in 1992. :) -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of leonard morris Sent: May 31, 2018 10:42 PM To: Jaws Subject: [JAWS-Users] file manager I am using the latest jaws 2018 and windows 7. Is there a file manager program that acts like DOS to delete several files at once using wildcards to delete a group of files with the same extension that's Jaws friendly? -- "Every country has an idenity, history, customs, and culture.
