Jaws & Windows ExplorerLonda,
That isn't the problem.  Reread the person's message and/or see the other 
responses.  The problem isn't that the details aren't there, it's that the 
space in which to display all of them is insufficient, so that they run off the 
right side of the pane.  This happens to a lot of people.  As we discussed 
earlier, all one seems to be able to do is use the View submenu Choose Details 
wisely, including only those you really need to have available, and try to keep 
your filenames short enough also that most of them will allow the details to be 
fully exposed on the screen.  In examples where you can't see enough, as has 
been mentioned, a good trick is to press F2 as if you were going to revise the 
filename.  that will present the line in its entirety.  Then hit escape and 
you're back on the filename with the information in your head, and you can do 
whatever you wish with the file.

Change your view to list.  That will allow all of the file name to show.

  Rose, You still don't always see all of the filename, especially if the 
filename is more than about fifteen characters long.
  Cheers.

  If I understand the question, press alt V for view, then d for details and 
press enter.

  Good afternoon 

  Does anybody know of a JAWS or Windows  keystroke that enables the List view 
in Windows  Explorer to be  expanded to show the full file name details?

  Kind regards 
          Guy
