Peter, Try right clicking on the desktop, and select "Sort by name". This will at least put the icons in alphabetical order. George. From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Bentley Sent: 13 August 2011 09:23 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Desktop on Windows 7 Using Windows 7 and JAWS 12 Hello The items on the desktop are not reading properly i.e. I cannot arrow through items in the normal way and first letter navigation does not work. I suspect that the view is set to icons rather than list but I can't work out how to change this. Can somebody advise please. Peter Bentley
