Re: [JAWS-Users] Win amp.
Hi Mandy, When you get to the folder containing all of the files, instead of pressing enter on it to go into it, press your applications key, or shift+F10, if you don't have an applications key, then the letter P for Play with Winamp. The letter P may activate the menu item, or it may take you directly there. If it does nothing except take you directly there, press enter to activate the menu item. At this point, or very near this point, possibly a few seconds, depending on whether your computer happens to be doing something else at the time, the files will start playing. I've pasted below a tutorial I did not too long ago on how to create, manage and play playlists with Winamp. While you can use the method above to actually get the files to Winamp in lieu of the method below, you can still use the method below if you wish to add more tracks to the playlist. You can also do the above process, but instead of pressing the P key to get to Play in Winamp,you can press the letter E for the option to include in Winamp. At this point, the folder or files you've selected will be appended to the end of your playlist while the tracks are playing, or you've paused it. While I wrote the below for an earlier version of Winamp, the keystrokes and all that other stuff are the same. ***Begin Tutorial*** Believe it or not, it's easier to create a playlist with Winamp, than it sounds. First, go to your desktop, or where ever you keep the Winamp shortcut, and enter on it. Once the Winamp window opens, control+tab twice to get to the playlist editor. If you find that you've used the control+tab keystroke twice, and Jaws didn't say playlist editor, then that means you have the playlist editor closed. You can open it in one of two ways. You can press the keystroke of alt+E, or you can press alt+F, then arrow down to playlist editor and enter on it. I think you'll find the alt+E keystroke is easier. Smile. In any case, once Jaws reports that the playlist editor is opened, control+tab up to the playlist editor. Now, this is going to sound weird, but go with me on this. Once you land in the playlist editor, press control+A to highlight everything, then press delete. Don't worry if Jaws doesn't say anything, what you've essentially done is delete any tracks that were in there from the last time you used Winamp to listen to something. Unfortunately, Winamp likes to leave residual ghost images of files it's played in the last instance, and so, in order to create a clean playlist, you have to delete what was previously there. So, now that you've done that, press the letter L for lists, and this will open up an open dialog box. Those of you familiar with downloading from send space, or saving as and the like, will be familiar with this dialog box. When this dialog box opens, you'll land on the filename edit box. Do a shift+tab to go to the file list window just above the filename edit box. Now, depending on where you last took Winamp, you won't know where you'll be in the file list, so a good rule of thumb is to press the backspace key seven or eight times until Jaws stops talking. When he does, do a say line command with insert+up arrow, and Jaws should read out, "Not Selected My Documents". This means you're on your desktop, and you can now go to the folder where the files are that you want to play. So, if the files are in a folder three levels deep into your my documents folder, let's call it Thea's audio files, you would press the spacebar to select My Documents, press the enter key to go into that folder, then arrow or find the folder titled Thea's Personal Files, highlight it, then press enter. Once in that folder, find the next folder, called Thea in Hawaii, enter on it, and finally go to Thea's audio files, and press enter. Be careful here, you don't want to make a common mistake that everyone makes, even me before I realized it, smile, do not touch any of the arrow keys, or the spacebar key, or anything on your keyboard until you've done a select all with control+A, and I'll explain later. Once you've done the control+A, tab to the open button in the dialog box, and press the spacebar to allow Winamp to place all the files you just selected into the playlist. Now, the reason I said not to touch anything once you land in the folder is because Winamp, and, indeed, Windows, in it's infinite wisdom, has a little bug. In most cases, when you're selecting a bunch of files to transfer over to another drive or whatever, say you want all the files except for the first one, a person using common sense would arrow down to the second file, then press control+shift+end to highlight all the files from that point downward. Once they're selected, the person would copy or cut the files, go to the destination where they want the file placed, then paste them in there. Only one problem, you suddenly notice that the last file that was at the bottom of the list,

[JAWS-Users] possible bug in jaws13?
I have the jaws13 final release. The problem I am having is with links and buttons. It seems to be a big problem too. What is happening is I'm having to press enter on links and buttons twice, and sometimes when I click a link it disappears altogether. I did not notice this behavior in the data cycle. I hope if this is a bug that it fixed very very soon as I'm disappointed that this would slide through a final release.

[JAWS-Users] Daily information
Daily Tip: Improve Vista's Startup Time If your Windows Vista PC seems to load slower than it used to, you can stop some of the applications that load when you start Vista to make the PC startup faster. Click the Start button, choose All Programs, and select Windows Defender. Select the Tools buttons, click Software Explorer, and click Startup Programs under the Category box. Select the application (or applications) that you want to disable at startup and click Disable. Daily Term: write protect A means of preventing users from editing files or saving files to a storage medium. Information can be write-protected in at least three ways. Through an operating system's file management features, users can activate a read-only attribute on files by using a command such as MS-DOS' ATTRIB. On networks, sharing software can establish security settings that provide write access to some users but not others. Lastly, diskettes have fairly unsophisticated write-protect mechanisms. On a 5.25-inch diskette a square notch is carved out of the side of the diskette (probably next to the label); covering the notch with tape restricts users to read-only access. A 3.5-inch diskette has a square hole in the upper corner of the diskette (again, probably near the label). A tab slides over the hole to lock the diskette, sliding it away from the hole restores write access.
