[Blind-Computing] Outlook
I am almost finished configuring Outlook thanks to a tutorial I found. The trouble I am having is the tutorial tells me to make sure the Outlook Bar in the views menu is not checked. I am using Outlook 2007, and I can't figure out which one it is or equivalent to. Does anyone have any suggestions? rogelio.terra...@gmail.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

when the winamp main window has focus press Control+p to bring up the preferences window. On the tree view locate General and under General there is File types. Press tab untel you hear All, Audio only, Video only, press space bar on the one you want and press TAB again to move to the close button and press enter. so tabbing to audio only and pressing space bar should make winamp the default player for mp3s and all other audio files.
