[JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router, modem or other device.

[M & B Brunner Arcadia]

Hi All;

Here is a tip I ran across on another list that I thought might come in
handy for a lot of us.

Dealing with lights on your router,modem or other device.


hi folks, thought of this a while back, and then saw this post and realized
I was right, it will work, so passed it along! elf - Original

device.


For Lisa and others who may be concerned with knowing the status of
indicator lights on a router or modem, I can determine which lights are on,
off, or blinking with a light probe.  Independent Living aids has one for
twenty-three dollars and change.  They work well for a number of things. I
use my probe to tell me about the lights on various cooking devices such as
a rice cooker, foreman grill, and many other things. It will find lights on
those little cube shaped power supplies that plug into the wall;  the
blinking light on the victor stream;  the light on the computer speakers;
and a host of other things I can't bring to mind just now.  Just a thought.
Lois Goodine.

Hope this helps.  Take care.
Mike

Use the Secret Send To Menu Items
When you right-click on any file or folder, you can use the Send To menu to
create a zipped version, or send the file to an application, but in Windows 
7 there
are hidden items on the Send To menu that can't be seen by default.
All you have to do is hold down the Shift key, then right-click on a file
and access
the Send To folder-you'll see a whole bunch of new items in the list, like
special
folders, and even an item for each one of your drives. It's a really useful
tip for
quickly sending a file to the flash drive you just plugged into the PC,
without having to do anything else.

Open a Command Prompt from Any Folder
This is one of those tips that most real geeks already know, but chances are
there's somebody reading this that doesn't know about it. If you hold down 
the Shift
key while right-clicking on any folder, including the desktop background, 
you'll
see a new item for Open command window here, that will open a command prompt
with that folder as the default path.
This tip only works in Windows 7 or Vista, for Windows XP you'll need to use
a registry hack to accomplish the same thing. We can't mention this tip 
without telling
you how to do the opposite.
you can Ever been doing some work at the command line when you realized. it 
would be
a lot easier if I could just use the mouse for this task? One command later, 
you'll
have
a window open to the same place that you're at.
This same tip works in more than one operating system, so we'll detail how
to do
it in every way we know how.
Just type the following command into your command prompt:
Explorer
Note: You could actually just type "start ." instead.
And you'll then see a file browsing window set to the same directory you
were previously
at. And yes, this also came from Stupid Geek Tricks: Open a Command Prompt
