Re: [Blind-Computing] Seemingly non-existant entry
Also, depending on your OS etc., one of the first things I do after starting using a machine for the first time is hit the windows key, hit escape so that the start button has focus, right click on it and hit enter on properties, and in that dialogue I make sure it's set to classic start menu, and then tab over to the customise button and hit space on it, and in the new dialogue that then pops up you find a list of items to display, including things like control panel etc. etc. and after turning them on, tab to ok, hit space, tab to other ok, and hit space, and then, you'd find things like the control panel under settings. This is all on win XP, but anyway - one day I'll move up to windows 7 or something.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Seemingly non-existant entry
Hi Cliff, The reason you are not finding what you want, is that it sounds like you are looking in the Windows directory. To get to the control panel, do the following: 1. press the key combination, Windows key + R, this will open the run dialogue. 2. Type the following: control press enter. This will open the control panel. 3. Now, press the letter U, until you hear, user accounts. 4. when this dialogue opens, you can access your passwords. HTH, Richard Q.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Microsoft Virtual PC software
Not quite sure why your keys are acting that way. After activating any menu, I am able to use the standard arrow keys to move up and down through menus and right arrow to enter a sub menu and left menu to return from a sub menu. In the Vinux-desktop.txt file, it claims that increasing the speed is bound to the Insert + right arrow keys. It sounds like your Insert key is stuck! I have never had that key stick. Perhaps it is because JAWS has been turned off? That might change how the system handles the Insert key. I have not had to turn off JAWS. I assume that by the fact that you were able to login that you had used the Control + g keystroke to allow all keys, including modifier keys to be directed to VM-Ware Player. This should stop JAWS from receiving these keystrokes or speaking. It should not be necessary to quit JAWS.

Yup. The defragging analysis checks out the percentage of the drive that is cluttered (for want of a better word), with files that are stored in smaller pieces, so if it says you don't need to, then don't bother.

I'm considering defragging my hard drive, but I had a strange issue that I'm wondering about. When I do it, and hit theanalyze button I'm told that this drive doesn't need to be defragged. I have never defragged my hardrive, so I was wondering why I was getting this message. Should I defrag any way? I'm using windows XP sp 3.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Outlook
Not sure since haven't used outlook 2007 for around 2 months now, but if I remember correctly, when you just activate the menus by hitting the space bar before just moving left/right, or using Ctrl + tab to change menu structure, I think the outlook one is the default menu, but wasn't really a problem for me back then. Think they also told me that the old keyboard shortcuts generally work, so, something like Alt + E should still activate a version of the edit menu even though it doesn't really show up.

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/ __ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4049 (20090501) __ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4049 (20090501) __ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
