Re: File Locate utility

Well, on my XP Pro system, pressing the Windows key then the letter C brings up 
the Control Panel, not the Search function.

  The Windows key followed by separately pressing "c" (assuming it brings up 
find/search) leads to the same choices you get when you simultaneously press 
the Windows key and "f." In fact, Windows-c requires the extra step of pressing 
the enter. At any rate, that's what I just determined on my XP, JAWS 10 system.

  Kathye,

  I suspect that you have the Control Panel in the list of items below the 
Start Button.

  Press the Windows key to open the start list and arrow down, and I think 
you'll discover that. Keep arrowing down and you should also find a Search with 
the access key being the letter "C". Only way I can see to mitigate is to not 
have the Control panel there. I think you can do this in the Start menu custom 
configurations.

  To get there start from your desktop. tab until you hear task bar. Alt+Enter 
to bring up task bar properties. Ctrl+Tab to go to the start Menu properties 
dialog tab to get to customize, and wander around to see what mischief you can 
get into.

  I'm not absolutely certain that this is where you can move the Control Panel 
away, but worth a look, in any case.

  It's all very JAWS-accessible, by the way.

  Dave

  I am running XP. When I hit the Windows key and then press c I get the 
Control Panel. If I hold down the Winsows key and press c JAWS says "not in a 
text box". What am I doing wrong? Kathye

  I assume you meant Windows-f, the windows find utility which is dreadfully 
"SLOW". I'm looking for something that will index the files and locate a file 
quickly, similar to the Vista search feature. Thanks anyway, Kathye

  Hit Windows key C, enter on "files and folders," arrow down to "all files and 
folders button," type what you have and hit enter. Tab to the window and see 
what has appeared.

  Can anyone reccomend an accessable utility that can be used to "quickly" find 
a file given a partial file name. I am using XP and JAWS7. Thanks, Kathye
