No, it's not JAWS-related, it's Windows-related. The technique is the same
whether you use JAWS, Window-Eyes, Hal, or any other screen reader, and
the technique also works for any sighted person. JAWS doesn't come into
play here.

Hi Blade, Sure, it's Jaws related. because getting to the My Favorites folder in Windows is something obvious to the sighted user who simply sees the interface, including what's listed in Windows explorer, but it's just another mystery and blind navigational trick that must be learned and then memorized by the Jaws user. Different world.
Also, though I doubt it needs saying, and with sympathy and apologies to Marvin, almost anything is likely to be more Jaws related than a question about international copyright law pertaining to the distribution of music downloads,containing not a single reference to blind access issues at all, let alone screen readers in general or Jaws in particular. that was a doozy, relevance-wise. and no one objected at all, although I admit I laughed out loud when I saw it. Not out of disrespectfor, or even disinterestin, in the legal question, but just because it was so egregiously far afield from the list topic area.,
So, yes, I'd say this is jaws related and a proper thing to be discussed, taught and learned on this list. I respect the opinion of anyone, moderator or otherwise, who may feel differently, but personally I didn't feel the least bit inconvenienced by that thread.

I know that some are partial to the Run dialogue as a place to go for many functions, rather than use the Windows interface. But if you want to do this same thing with the Windows interface, just do it in My Computer or windows Explorer. You'll immediately be in a tree view of the Favorites folders, in which you can create, delete, and copy and paste. try the key command Windows E to get to this screen.

Hi Billy, If you are having difficulty doing this in Internet Explorer, you can do the same thing from within Windows Explorer. Just locate your, "favorites" folder, and create, and arrange folders as you would in any other Windows Explorer window. If you need further assistance, contact me off-list.

Hey, Guys!
Much thanks to all of you who have contributed to my Jaws knowledge so far! Okay, when I try to follow along with my Internet Explorer tutorial to organize my favorites into folders, I lose speech when clicking on "Move to Folder...," after highlighting the web page that I want to move to the specified folder. Is this a known problem? Any easy work arounds? I have great confidence that one of you knows the answer! Thanks in advance!
Billy
