Hi, this is from jaws help system.
Windows XP and JAWS
Beginning with JAWS 7.10, it is not necessary to change Windows XP's display
properties to Classic view. JAWS is compatible with either the default XP
view
or the Windows Classic view. However, when navigating lists with the
keyboard, there are slight advantages to using the Classic view.
This topic describes changes that you can make to make navigation easier.
These changes are entirely optional and not necessary to enhance JAWS'
performance.
You must be logged in with administrative rights to make several of these
changes.
The following procedures show three different ways to change specific areas
of Windows to the Classic view.
. Folder Options
. Start Menu
. Windows Explorer
Folder Options
To change to Classic view using Folder Options, do the following:
list of 6 items
1. Press the WINDOWS KEY to open the Start menu, press C until Control Panel
is selected, and then press ENTER.
2. From the Control Panel, press ALT+T to go to the Tools menu.
3. Press O for Folder Options.
4. From the Tasks radio button group, select Use Windows Classic folders.
5. (Optional):
list of 5 items nesting level 1
a. On the View page, move to the Advanced Settings tree view.
b. Clear the Hide Extensions For Known File Types check box.
c. If you also use screen magnification software, clear the Show pop-up
description for folder and desktop items check box. Pop up descriptions
often hides
the menu item just below any given menu item, making it impossible to
visually see the next item in the menu list.
d. Move to the Apply to All Folders button and press SPACEBAR.
e. Select Yes in the dialog that opens to acknowledge this change.
list end nesting level 1

to close this dialog box.

5. Press CTRL+TAB to move to the Start Menu page.
6. Select Classic Start menu.
7. Press ENTER to close this dialog box.
list end
Windows Explorer
To change the view Windows Explorer, do the following:
list of 10 items
1. Press WINDOWS KEY+E to open Windows Explorer, and then select your hard
drive in your tree view. This drive may be referred to as Local Disk C.
2. Press ALT+V to open the View menu, and then press D for details. Items in
the list view appear as a single vertical list.
