Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening a thumb drive in Wind7
Hi Mike, Thanks for the advice, I kinda knew it. I had a couple thumb drives from the NFB that I wanted to delete and use them for something else.

Have you tried arrowing to the left or right? That works for me in some scenarios.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening a thumb drive in Wind7
Hi Jorge, After you open, Computer, try putting it into list view. Alt + V, press the letter, L, or arrow down to List press enter. In, Sort By, press enter on, Name. In, Group By, press enter on, None. This should make reading items in, Computer, much easier. HTH Take care.
