Hi >From what I have experienced, in Windows 7, the status bar when you're in Windows Explorer, or just an open folder, has 2 lines. So the information you got in XP is now split. JAWSkey+pagedown invokes the SayBottomLineOfWindow script. The script that comes from FS only reads the actual bottom line of the window. But if I read both lines with the JAWS cursor, all the information appears to be there.

In Windows 7, if I press Insert + PageDown, I just hear the number of items selected. I think the normal behavior in Windows 7 is the total size appears in a pop up if the mouse hovers over the status bar. On my computer, the JAWS cursor can not pick up that text either. Does anybody know of a Windows 7 or JAWS setting that will place the total size on the status bar? -- *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
