Kimsan,

I'm curious. What are you doing with the arrow keys to speak each column? 
Doesn't work for me that way.

BTW I use two hands for these keystrokes, so I don't hurt my fingers much.

  Wow those keystrokes hurt my fingers!:) I just focus on my file and right 
arrow and the collumns will be echoed such as: size, length, etc.

  To carry this further, actually depends entirely on how you have your 
listview set up. In MS-Explorer the view/choose details dialog will let you 
determine what columns of data to show, and in what order. So Brandon's 
suggestion of Insert+Ctrl+5 may be correct for his setup but not for others. 
Mine is set up to show in this order:

   

  Insert+Ctrl+1 Name

  Insert+Ctrl+2 Size 

  Insert+Ctrl+3 Date Modified

  Insert+Ctrl+4 Title (for media files)

  Insert+Ctrl+5 Duration (for audio and video files)

  Insert+Ctrl+6 Date Picture Taken (image files)

  Insert+Ctrl+7 Dimensions (image files)

   

  When you run out of columns you will hear "# out of range"

    ctrl+Jaws key+5 shows you size.

    Hope this helps!

      Hi, if I've understood correctly, in windows explorer set the view to 
      details under the view menu. Then as you move down to a file, you can 
press 
      left and right arrow keys to move to the various bits of information i.e. 
      file type, size etc.
