Re: [JAWS-Users] follow up to deleting a folder
I did it! Finally! It only took me almost seven hours lol! I have no reason why I couldn't do what anyone else suggested and to have it work so I had to download something called unlocker. I managed to remove this dam folder from 2 out of the 3 destinations but I will remove the other one tomorrow I am tired! If anyone cares to know about unlocker here is the info I got... Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows: Cannot delete file: Access is denied. There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use or the file is in use by another program or user. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Unlocker is the solution. Unlocker is an Explorer extension that allows you with a simple right-click of the mouse on a file or folder to get rid of error message such as error deleting file or folder, cannot delete folder: it is used by another person or program. I still don't know why I had to go that far... -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 4:06 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] deleting a folder Kimsan, This is a rough description. In your My Documents folder, in the Tree View, find the highest-level folder you would like to delete. Now press right-arrow. Now tab over to the list view, and look at what you've got. Select and delete, as appropriate. There may be some files that won't delete, so maybe here's a chance to find out their names. You may have made some read-only. if so, you'll have to make them read-only not checked, a checkbox in the alt-enter general or the other tab control property sheet. Hopefully, by the end there will be nothing in the folder you right-arrowed into. Then you can shift+tab and left-arrow, and delete it. Another alternative? Cut the whole thing to the clipboard. leave it there, and reboot. Another alternative, find something like ReVo Uninstaller, or some other professional file deletion utility. - Original Message - From: "Kimsan" To: Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 11:24 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] deleting a folder > RJ: > I failed to mention in my original email that the folder I have is in > my > documents folder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws in System-Tray
As an xp dino, I am not sure of this but does win 7 have a setting to hide inactive icons in the system tray? I do not know what this would be called under win7 or if it even exists but under xp, vanishing icons might be caused by that setting, which under xp is found in the taskbar properties. Just a guess!

Re: [JAWS-Users] deleting a folder
Hi, Meared, 1. Reboot your system and try to delete the folder. (I did this and it still says recycling dialog cancel button.) 2. if the reboot doesn't solve the problem, try to rename the folders starting from the last one in the tree and delete each folder inside-out. (When I do this, my laptop freezes) 3. If the renaming/deleting doesn't work from the Windows Explorer, use the "Command Prompt". (can you give steps on how to do this?) BTW, this folder is called tech emails and inside the folder are .msg's of emails I have save over the months. I can delete any folder on my computer but this folder seems to be a pain in the arce to remove. I have a copy even on my external hd and it will not delete from there neither.

Re: [JAWS-Users] deleting a folder
Kimsan, This is a rough description. In your My Documents folder, in the Tree View, find the highest-level folder you would like to delete. Now press right-arrow. Now tab over to the list view, and look at what you've got. Select and delete, as appropriate. There may be some files that won't delete, so maybe here's a chance to find out their names. You may have made some read-only. if so, you'll have to make them read-only not checked, a checkbox in the alt-enter general or the other tab control property sheet. Hopefully, by the end there will be nothing in the folder you right-arrowed into. Then you can shift+tab and left-arrow, and delete it. Another alternative? Cut the whole thing to the clipboard. leave it there, and reboot. Another alternative, find something like ReVo Uninstaller, or some other professional file deletion utility. - Original Message - From: "Kimsan" To: Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 11:24 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] deleting a folder RJ: I failed to mention in my original email that the folder I have is in my documents folder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 13 disappointment!
Really, words sound the same to me as they have for years. Occasionally there is a funny one but after so many years I have gotten used to it. I almost never use the dictionary manager because when you change versions you generally lose things you put there I usually won't run the merge utility, although in my particular situation I just might try that.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Research It NFL results
My understanding is FS gets their info from ESPN, and ESPN keeps updating/changing their web data feed and thereby breaking the ability to get scores until they work it out with ESPN again. Brad On 12/5/2011 04:53 AM Joni Colver said... As others have mentioned, this does not seem to work in JAWS 13 as of last week. I am not really a football fan, but it was a nice easy way to see if the home team had lost yet again for social conversational reasons. Does this breakage result from changes on the website where Research It looks for results? Just curious as to why these problems with sports results occur. Having just migrated to JAWS 12 and 13 from an earlier version of JAWS, I will say that I do like Research It for its quickness and the ease of glancing over headlines, definitions, and other things.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 13 disappointment!
Hi I have seen this occur in both JAWS 12 and 13, where, for me, the profile for DecTalk Access32 speech uses the Eloquence voice. You can go to the Voice Adjustment dialog by going to the JAWS menu and choosing Options, Voices and then Voice Adjustment. In that dialog just under the profile name field is a field that lists the actual speech synthesizer that the profile is using. I think you used to be able to tab to it and change it under some earlier version of JAWS, but now it's read only and you have to use the JAWS cursor to read it. For the Eloquence profile, the synthesizer should be Eloquence. If it's something different, such as SAPI 5, that would explain why you are hearing a different voice. I think it has something to do with the settings in the Voice Profiles file located in the same folder that has the ENU folder for your user settings. I don't know how or why it's getting changed, nor what can be done other than a re-install to fix it. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Ann Byrne Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2011 10:46 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 13 disappointment!

There's a Kindle program that runs on a PC. There is a version that works with access software such as JFW. It is free to download and use.

[JAWS-Users] Research It NFL results
As others have mentioned, this does not seem to work in JAWS 13 as of last week. I am not really a football fan, but it was a nice easy way to see if the home team had lost yet again for social conversational reasons. Does this breakage result from changes on the website where Research It looks for results? Just curious as to why these problems with sports results occur. Having just migrated to JAWS 12 and 13 from an earlier version of JAWS, I will say that I do like Research It for its quickness and the ease of glancing over headlines, definitions, and other things.
