Don't know if this will make any difference for anyone else, but I just
tried to see the date info at the end of my files in Windows explorer.
I had the view set to show this info, but JAWS wasn't reading it when I
did an Insert Numrow 8. So, I pressed the Control Numrow + (also known
as the PC Cursor key) and all of the sudden I could hear the info I
wanted. Guess I expanded things? I only did this once, so I'm not sure
if this would always work, or ever work again, in fact.

Hi Jim,
I thought I explained. Sorry. You use an item in one of the Windows
Explorer menus to say what you want displayed on the filename line.
Hold
on. I'll go there and remind myself which menu it is...
Okay. It's the View menu in Windows Explorer. Open it using Alt V.
Arrow
down to details. I don't give one-key shortcuts even where they apply
at a
moment like this because that deprives you of ever learning what's on a
given menu, for a sense of context. Make sure details is checked,
hitting
Enter if it's not. If this takes you out of the menu, open it again,
and
this time go down to the item Choose Details. Notice that it's checked
now.
Press Enter to get the submenu. Now arrow up and down to see how very
many
details can be displayed on that line, only a few of which are actually
to
your interest. this is the normal approach. Press Enter on each one
you
want to be displayed. I'm just on my first cup of coffee and too rushed
to
experiment whether that closes the menu each time requiring you to open
it
again, but just work with it and figure it out.
Once you've done this and remembered to leave the menu by clicking OK
where
you're supposed to, your filename lines will display whatever you've
wset
them to display. Then you can read it with Insert 8. By the way,
Insert 3
is not reading the filename line as someone would read it just looking
at
it. It's reading the status bar in Windows Explorer, which is fine if
it
gives the same information when you're on a filename. But it isn't
reading
the actual filename line in the normal sense.
Hope this helps.
