Look, people, when you signed up to this list, you agreed to some list rules that included example. I know, I wrote most of it. Don't confuse the list owner of this list and the owner of the other JAWS list, two different James's. The rules of this lst have not been suspended, and when you signed up to the list you agreed to those rules. James has not substantially changed them from when I wrote them. A mailing list is not a democracy. You don't like the rules, work with the list owner to change them, but don't arbitrarily break them because you disagree with them, especially after you have agreed, by virtue of being on this list, to abide by them.

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
