Re: [Blind-Computing] is there a particular way to unplug a flashdrive
A good tip. I have not tried this but I think if you save this line in a text file and rename it hotplug.bat then you could simply press enter on that file on the desktop and get the same result. Even better you could set up a shortcut key to hotplug.bat, perhaps control alt and P and the result should appear instantaneously. The only thing to remember is that you need to ensure that there is a carriage return at the end of the command line in the bat file.

Re: [Blind-Computing] is there a particular way to unplug a flashdrive
Sherrie, if you can change the extension of that text file from .txt to .bat you can run the safely remove hardware dialog merely by pressing enter on the file, no need to copy and paste it into the RUN dialog. SO for example if you have that string savd in a text file called Unmount.txt change the name to Unmount.bat and press enter on it and watch what happens.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Sending mail as a delegate in Outlook 2007
anyway that works in Outlook 2003. I imagine that it is similar in 2007. 1. You need an account set up in Outlook obviously before you can send from it. 2. create the new mail or reply to be in the email you want to send. 3. Press the alt key once . 4. Press control plus tab to move focus to the toolbar. 5 cursor once rightwards and on my outlook 2003 you land on the Accounts button . On 2007 it may be located slightly differently. 6. pres the down cursor arrow and you will be able to select a sending address from all the available accounts in Outlook. 7. Press enter and this is the address that will be inserted in the from field. If there is more than one toolbar in Outlook 2007 you may have to press control tab more than once to cycle to the one you need but I think this first one is the one you normally need.

[Blind-Computing] WMP Sometimes Won't Play Podcasts
Hi gang. Lately, I have been experiencing problems with Windows Media Player, my default media player, playing podcasts. When I click on a web page link to listen to a podcast, WMP launches but there is no sound, just silence. For instance, when I visit the Innovations Radio page (http://www.theglobalvoice.info/gallery.php?show=innovations) and select one of the Listen links to play a recent show, WMP launches, but there is no sound. This does not happen all the timebut only sporadically. Rebooting my PC always fixes this problem and restores WMP to normal, but there must be a better solution. Any idea why WMP sometimes refuses to play podcasts accessed from a web page? I am running WMP 11 with XP Pro and JAWS 9. Thanks.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Sending mail as a delegate in Outlook 2007
as a delegate in Outlook 2007 Hi David, thanks but I wasn't asking about selecting an account from the accounts drop down menu (alt plus N in Outlook 2003 or alt plus A in Outlook 2007). What I was asking about was sending mail from someone else's mailbox which I have opened as a delegate. When using Exchange 03 or 07 you can open up another mailbox without adding it as an account assuming the owner has assigned you the correct sharing permissions.

[Blind-Computing] VERY STRANGE LAPTOP ISSUE
This has only started recently and I don't know why. I boot up the computer normally and after about 30 minutes or so, the thing shuts itself down and restarts without any prompting from me. All of the programs seem to be working okay but if I'm in the middle of a document or an e-mail, it's gone. Here's my system. I'm running an HP Model 550 notebook computer with XP Service PackIII, Jaws 10and Outlook Express. I am connected to a generic USB hub which has 3 components attached to it: 1. Soundblaster 5.5 USB sound card, HP Scanjet 4770, Brother HL1440 printer. I also had a standard keyboard attached to the hub with an adapter which converts it from the smaller old style connector to a USB. That's it. This whole thing started when I moved my computer from a table to my computer station. I have never used this laptop with that USB hub before. Before I do something stupid, can someone think this through and give me some pointers? Could that USB hub be creating a problem? It's not a powered one but one of those generic hubs you can get from Radio Shack. I'm serious about this, friends. If my computer is going on the fritz, I need to deal with it soon because in another 5 months, it's going out of warranty. Any help would be most welcome. I have been using that standard style keyboard ever since I got this laptop and it has never given me a problem. I have also connected the scanner and the printer directly to this laptop at various times and had no trouble at all. But I have never used this hub before. Could it be sending some kind of reset message to my system? John and Linda Justice with guide dogs Jake and Zachary Sent from my HP laptop computer.

As I understand it, I just plug the flash drive into one of the USB ports on my computer. And it should show up as drive E in the my computer list. Is that correct? From what I understand, when using a USB external hard drive, you are meant to select the safely remove hardware option from somewhere on the computer before unplugging the external drive from the computer? Is this correct? And where do I find that option for when I start using my external drive? Do you have to follow the same procedure for unplugging a USB flash drive? And are Flash drives and USB hard drives regarded as the same thing? As I have a 500 gig external hard drive. And an only 1 gig flash drive.
