Subject: RE: JAWS, Windows 7 and libraries I understand Windows 8 has libraries, but you have to bring them out of hiding; trouble is I don't remember how. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ron Barton via Jfw Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2014 2:19 PM To: 'Cy Selfridge'; 'The Jaws for Windows support list.'; 'Adrian Spratt' Subject: RE: JAWS, Windows 7 and libraries I have never used Windows 7 but rather jumped from XP right to Windows 8. So I don't know if there is any similarity at all but I get to my documents from the start menu by pressing the letter F that brings up file explorer. After opening file explorer I arrow to the OS hard drive and click on it then type the letter U until it takes me to the users that I click on which takes me to the libraries. Knowing that my documents are in the library titled Ron I click on that. This takes me to all of my folders in my library I then click on my document folder that takes me to all of the folders that I have created in my documents. This may seem like a long process but I find it a very clean way to separate all of my documents in to convenient folders!

Subject: RE: JAWS, Windows 7 and libraries Hi, I gave your method a shot and was surprised where it sent me. It sent me to "documents" alright but what I found there really did not look like "my documents". Strange!

Subject: RE: JAWS, Windows 7 and libraries The fastest way I've found to get to documents, etc. is the following: 1. Press the Windows key. Don't enter anything in the search field. 2. Right-arrow once. This takes you to a menu which, on my system, has ten items. 3. Press d until "documents" is verbalized, then press enter. For music, press m, and so on. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ct via Jfw Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2014 2:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: JAWS, Windows 7 and libraries Hi. New to Windows 7 and feel lost. I think I've found that folders such as downloads, music and videos are in a place called libraries. I'm curious to know if there's a JAWS keystroke that will take me to the libraries section so that I can more easily get to those folders mentioned. Thanks for reading. _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
