  Hi Paul,

  Thanks for your response, this was what I was talking about alright.

  Now I have another query - I can set up an autoreply but obviously from 
previous emails, I have to unsubscribe to the list if setting it up so all the 
list members don't keep getting it. Am I right in thinking this.

  So my query is how do i unsubscribe/subscribe to the list. I can't remember 
how I subscribed in the first place - it was long ago!

  Hope all is well with you too Paul. Pity the weather is so bad but sure what 
can we do?

  REgards,

  Petrina

    Hi Petrina,

    Good to hear from you, I hope all is well there with the family. I think 
the question you are asking is how much space you have left on your hard drive. 
There is a difference between  memory on a computer. Recently a lister asked 
the question how would they know how much physical memory is on their computer. 
This is the memory known as "Ram memory" and is responsible for the successful 
loading up of applications such as jaws and other applications. The second kind 
of memory is known as "Rom, Read only Memory" and this would include  things 
such as the hard drive and other  media where you can store files and folders 
such as removable  pen drives and external hard drives.  From what I gather you 
would like to know how much "Rom space or hard drive space you have left on 
your computer, am I correct?. Well if I am do the following;

    1. While on the desktop, press the letter "M" till you hear jaws say My 
Computer.

    2. Hit the enter key and then arrow around till you find an object hat jaws 
refers to as something called "Local drive C".

    3. Press and hold down the left alt key and then press the enter key in 
order to open up the properties of this drive.

    4. Now route your jaws cursor to PC cursor using the keys "insert + minus 
key" on the numpad of your keyboard.

    5. Now press the numpad "9" to go to the top of the properties screen.

    6. Use the numpad "2" key to come down a line at a time and you will hear 
lots of information relating to your hard drive. As you arrow down you will 
eventually come to the information pertaining to the size of your hard drive 
and how much space is used and also how much free space you have left.

    When you are finished reviewing this information, press the "PC cursor key" 
which is "the plus key on the numpad". Now tab key to the ok button and press 
enter or spacebar to finish.

    Hope this helps.

    Paul.

    Hi folks,

    I have a vague recollection that this question was asked and answered 
recently, so apologies for the Repition. How do I find out how much meory is 
left in my hard drive? 

    I am tidying up my computer at the momen. It is worse than housework and 
Jaws voice is  wearing me at the moment. Maybe I will go down and do some 
proper housework and stop avoiding it by using the computer!

    Have a nice weekend

    Regards,
    Petrina
