Good thing you mentioned that, for if one happens to be running the Windows
server 2008 R2 foundation edition, there's no guarantee that files installed to
that directory will work. It's happened to me before.

Thanks once again! Just downloaded and installed. I will let you know if it
introduces any new problems on a Windows 7 64 bit system. I did notice that
FileDir and Ed Sharp installed in the "Program Files (x86)" directory. I am
not saying that is a problem. It still works properly. I just wanted to let
you know it is still installed as a 32 it application, in case you thought it
was now a 64 bit application.

There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real
substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on
things that matter.

This is to let users of EdSharp and FileDir know that I have made fixes in the
last few months that improve compatibility with screen readers on 64-bit
Windows. I do not have Win64 to test with myself yet, but think I have found
ways of making the various screen reader API calls work in a more robust
manner. So, if you have experienced a problem with JAWS, NVDA, or Window-Eyes
on 64-bit Windows, you may wish to make sure you have the latest EdSharp
http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe
or FileDir
http://EmpowermentZone.com/dirsetup.exe
You can aalso update within an existing installation via the Elevate command,
F11.
With FileDir, I also fixed a problem with conversion of Word 2007 .docx files.
This means that the Question mark command, Shift+/, will read the contents of
that file type, among others, when such a file is focused in a directory list.
I also fixed the Detect Encoding command, Shift+2 (the @ symbol), which lets
you know the encoding of a text file, e.g., ASCII, UTF-8, etc.
Anyone wishing to learn more about EdSharp, a text and code editor, or FileDir,
a file and directory manager, can do so by browsing the documentation at
