Hi all.Sorry to come in late on this thread. I should have said that this trick works with Windows 7 only.
I'm sorry about that. Take care. From Chris H in Derbyshire On 20/08/2010 11:50, Mike & Barbara Arcadia wrote:
Hi Chris; Thank you very much for this great tip but, with what Operating System does this tip refer to? In XP Pro& Home when you invoke the Windows key + E keystroke, Jaws reads, "My Computer, Tree view, My Computer Open ", then when you open the configuration manager jaws reads, " Internet Explorer .JCF Jaws Configuration Manager. " I tried opening Windows Explorer through Start Menu / Programs / Accessories / Windows Explorer and received the same results as using the Windows + E keystroke. The question is, how does a person get into the Windows Explorer .JCF using XP Home or Pro? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.

Would you shed some light on how JAWS becomes less chatty with "control type" checked? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of chris hallsworth Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 4:00 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Making JAWS less chatty in Windows Explorer Hello all, I've heard about this on another list so thought I would pass this on. To make JAWS less chatty in Windows Explorer: 1. Open Windows Explorer. Then, press insert+6 to open Configuration Manager. It should say, "explorerframe.jcf - JAWS Configuration Manager". This is fine as you should only do this for Windows Explorer. 2. Press alt+s to open the set options menu, then v to open the Verbosity Options dialogue box. 3. Tab to the preferences button corresponding to your current verbosity level and activate it. 4. Down arrow till you hear, "control type checked". Press space and you should hear, "control type not checked". 5. Press enter to activate the ok button. 6. Back in the Verbosity Options dialogue box, tab to the ok button and activate it. 7. Save your changes with ctrl+s. 8. Close Configuration Manager with alt+f4.
