[Blind-Computing] How can I open a flash drive on my computer?
Hi, can someone please help me. I need to know how to find and open a flash drive on my computer. I am using windows 7 and JAWS 14. I know that when you insert the flash drive a menu opens and you can open the flash drive there. But let's say that I close that window and then want to find the flash drive and open it, how would I do this? Thanks in advance. The greatness comes not when things are always going well for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes...

Re: [Blind-Computing] Send To, How To Add Folders / Places To It
Thanks Mike, I reckon my sendTo option will be seeing a lot mor action now... If you were to have any more well explained tips like this, I for one, would be pleased to see them. Thanks again, Paul From Australia - Original Message - From: "Mike B." Every computer user has one specific place or folder in windows where he / she likes to dump all of his / her files and folders. It can be My Documents folder, C drive, D drive, Desktop or anywhere in Windows. In order to put your files and folder at your favourite place, each time you have to follow either of these two classic methods : Note: I know all of you know these basic things, but their is something else which i want to tell you all. Just keep reading it First Method 1. Select your file or folder which you want to move or copy 2. Right click to display a context menu 3. Click “Copy” or "Cut" 4. Go to the location where you want to put your file or folder 5. Right click to display a context menu 6. Click “Paste” Second Method 1. Select your file or folder which you want to move or copy 2. Press CTRL + C to copy or CTRL + X to cut (move) 3. Go to the location where you want to put your file or folder 4. Press CTRL + V to paste it Following the above steps looks easy but when there is a way to speed up the whole process, than why not use that option. Whenever you right click any file or folder, (you noticed or not) their is an option of Send To in the context menu. The shortcut key for it after pressing the application key is letter, N. By default, there are some limited options available in that menu, but you can add your own folder or location over there and than can easily copy any file or folder to your favorite folder or location instantly. But before moving ahead, let's see what the default options available in the Send To menu are. Default Options In The Send To Menu Right click any file or a folder and select the Send To option from the menu. For example, at one of my PC these are the options available in the Send To menu. Let me tell you briefly about the most common options of the Send To menu : Compressed (zipped) Folder : Clicking this option will quickly creates a compressed file (Zip file) and copies the selected files or folders to it. Desktop (create shortcut) : Clicking this option will create a shortcut of your file or folder on the desktop. My Documents or Documents : Clicking this option will create a Copy of the selected file or folder to the Documents folder. Fax Recipient : Clicking this option will allows you to send the file as a fax via the Windows Fax and Scan tool. (you need to configure windows to work like that) Mail Recipient : Clicking this option will allows you to easily attach a file to an e-mail message. (It will only work if you have installed any email client. For e.g. Ms-Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird etc.) CD/DVD RW drive : Clicking this option will create a Copy of the selected file or folder to the CD/DVD drive, so that you can burn your documents easily on the CD/DVD. USB drive : Clicking this option will create a Copy of the selected file or folder to the USB drive (if it's already plugged into your computer) 3 1/2 Floppy (A:) : Clicking this option will create a Copy of the selected file or folder to the floppy drive (if you have that in your computer) How To Add Any Folder In The Send To Menu After knowing much about the Send To menu, now let's see how you can add your favorite folder in it. By doing that you can easily copy your files / folders by simply right clicking it. Note: You can also add Copy To or Move To option in your right click menu, but I recommend that method only to those people who know what they are doing. Go to the location of your favorite folder, Right Click it, click Send To and select Desktop (create shortcut) It will instantly create a shortcut on the desktop of your folder. Now go to your Desktop and Right click the Shortcut folder and select Rename. Just remove the word Shortcut from it or Rename it whatever you want. In Win XP 1. Click Start Menu 2. Click RUN 3. Type, shell:sendto, and click enter. In Win 7 1. Click Start Menu. 2. Type, shell:sendto, in the search box and press Enter. After using this command in WinXP and Win 7, you will see a window that will pop-up with some icons or shortcuts. Now copy that folder shortcut from the Desktop (which you created before) and paste it in this Send To folder. That's it. Right click any file and folder, click Send To and you will see your favorite folder name or location in the menu as well. Last Words The Send To option has been available in all the version of Windows for a long time, but not many people are able to utilize it at its potential. By following these steps, you can add as many folders in the Send To menu as you want and then you don't have to go to each folder and manually copy / paste the items. Give it a try.

Re: [Blind-Computing] How can I open a flash drive on my computer?
Hi, you can find it by pressing the Windows key, find computer, press enter, and you should be able to find it there. It should be under removable disk, or something like that. It's been a while since I used one. On 5/2/2013 2:48 AM, caligirl wrote: Hi, can someone please help me. I need to know how to find and open a flash drive on my computer.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Groove Folder Synchronization
Sure Mike, these things are just a pain to work with at times. I am still trying to adapt to my new Windows 7 PC. Catching up fast with it's features and where to find what on it. In Windows 7 the add and remove programs is totally different compared to XP actually the whole control panel looks extremely different. I hear it gets even more complicated in Windows 8. Any reviews out there?
