Thanks. Will this also work on emails as well if they have accumulated,
which they do? Big problem for me. SMILE!

Subject: Re: Help needed: Deleting multiple files
you probably have lots of answers by now, though since this is what I
do, I'll outline it for you.
Find the first file you wish to delete, hold down the control key, go to
the next file you wish to delete, press space bar, go to the next file
you wish to delete, tap the space bar, (remember during all this the
control key is held down), and so forth until you have hit space bar on
all the files you wish to remove.
Now, after letting up on control, hit delete.
If you wish to truly delete all those files and don't wish them in
recycle bin, hit control delete.
You should get a prompt which is a wee bit different than "moving to
recycle bin." :)
Hope this helps, though late. Was on a cruise and still catching up on mail.

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,
