Hi Mark, Go to My Computer. From the Tools menu, select Folder Options. Navigate to the View tab. Tab down to the section titled "Advanced Settings, where there is a list of check boxes and radio buttons. Down (or up) arrow until you hear "Hide extensions for known file types". Make sure this in unchecked. Click O.K. until you are back at the main My Computer screen. Files extensions for all files will now be displayed. George. ________________________________ From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mark Smith Sent: 20 November 2005 22:07 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: File Types and Folders or Documents Dear Christopher I have done this, and when I first of all go into my "C" drive it reads out the file extension for the first file type, but then not for the rest. I have opened the view menu as you suggest, but somehow the option does not seem to work every time I arrow around the documents or folders? Do I need to have some kind of setting activated in my jaws version 7? Many thanks Regards Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: christopher huby <mailto:christopher.huby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, November 20, 2005 9:57 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: File Types and Folders or Documents Hi Mark, when in the list of documents, press alt v and it will come up in the view menu, tap the letter d this will make sure that you have the details displayed at the end of the file name. Hope that this helps.

How can I please find out with JFW 7.0 what types of documents I have stored on my PC, ie, a Doc format file, a PDF format file or an HTML format. I am aware that documents have file extensions after their names, but jaws does not seem to be reading this out to me? 2. When I am arrowing around the files in either owners documents or on my "C" drive, is there a way in which jaws can tell me if the file name is either a folder or document please? I think there is a different type of visual symbol on the screen, but can not hear Jaws telling me if I am on a folder with files in it or an actual file document. Many thanks for any help with this query. Best wishes Mark ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
