I use Thunderbird and it works with that program. You might try it on a
couple of files first to make sure it doesn't delete messages you want
to keep.

Quick question. Will that method also work for deleting multiple emails in
windows live mail? That would be nice. Thanks.

no, you hold down the control key and press the space bar on the files you
want to delete. when you are through highlighting the files press the delete
key.

Subject: Help needed: Deleting multiple files
Running Win7.
Listers,
I have tried figuring this out, but seem to be blank-minded today.
Anyone has some experience, please let me know.
I have a folder, holding numerous files. I open it in Windows Explorer,
and arrow my way down through the list of files.
It occurs, that I need to delete several of the files. Fine, if they had
been right next to each other, I would have used the Shift-Arrow
combinations - selecting the files to be deleted, and then press Del-key.
Thing is, the files are spread out all over the list. I need to delete
say file number 1, 4 and 6. So exactly
how
do I go about that one. I searched the net, and it said to use the
CTRL-key, along with the mouse. If I hold the CTRL along with the Slash
or Star on the numeric keypad, simulating the Left or Right clicks on
the mouse, I only hear
"Slash"
and
"Star"
spoken, and nothing else happens.
It further claimed you alternatively should use CTRL-Space, and it would
select the file currently focused. Thing is, I tried that one too, and
it still does not work. So what is the clue?
How does one select multiple files, in Windows Explorer, with the use of
WinEyes.
To make it more complicated for you, I did try yet another approach. I
used the Insert-Del combination on the numeric keypad. It gave me the
chance to
MARK
but when I did choose to let it do so, on each of the files in question,
and then pressed Del to delete - Only the currently focused file will be
deleted. In other words, none of the other files I thought I had marked,
did actually receive any marking.
Hope all of this makes any sense. By The Way, is this kind of operation
more accessible in either of the other Screen Readers, NVDA or Jaws. If
so, what's the procedure, please?
Thanks all,
