Question re window-eyes set files
I have two Windows 10 desktops running version 1803, and of course my screen reader of choice is Window-eyes 9.5.4. On my Dell desktop, Window-eyes announces the names of the folders and drives in this pc just fine. I opted to do a clean install of Windows 10 and wipe the drive on my HP desktop. After installing Window-eyes, the drive and folder names are not stated. All I hear for each is "group status." However, if I hit enter on any of these, I hear the appropriate content although the drive and folder names are not verbalized. Conversely, if I load Jaws 18, drive and folder names are verbalized correctly. This makes me wonder whether this is a set file issue, particularly because those things are properly verbalized on my Dell machine which as stated above is running W E 9.5.4. If someone can shed some light on this problem and the appropriate fix, I would be most grateful.

Re: Question re window-eyes set files
It's under the View tab in File Explorer Options in the Control Panel. There's all kinds of junk that can be turned off, like recently viewed files and folders quick bars, the preview pane, and so on. I think I had to go through it all to fix the same problem.

RE: Question re window-eyes set files
Hi Don, I doff my chapeau to the insights already offered by Netbat and Tom, and I just wanted to say that on my machine, there is no set file association for either the desktop, any folder list view, nor This PC. When I go to the Window-Eyes control panel when is either of these three places, the active set file is default.set and it says "associated: None." Also, I've seen the problem you describe fix itself, and so there is hope.
