Hi Dave Kimsan, & Peter;

1 other way you can get file information while in list view, is with the 
file highlighted, press the Insert / Jaws key + page down / 3 key.  Hope 
this helps.  Take care.
Mike

  Hi Dave;

  Using XP, with detail view checked, I get the same results as you and 
can't get any information using the arrow keys.  Which leads me to the 
question, what operating systems are Peter & Kimsan running?  I know Kimsan 
runs Windows7 but, I don't know about Peter.  Daniel, good point!  Take 
care.
  Mike

    Peter,

    IF you're using Ctrl+Alt+arrow, then that's what I hear, also. The 
keystrokes are Insert+Ctrl+the numbers 1, 2, etc.

      Peter Do you have your view set to details or Icons?

      Set it to details and see what you get.

          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.
