Hi Jonathan

 

Many thanks for your reply.  I copied and pasted the instructions into the
command prompt and had the following error:

'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

 

Unfortunately, there is no sighted help available at home at the moment.

 

Kind regards

 

Henry

Henry: 

Copy the following line into your clipboard - it starts with the word
forfiles and ends with @ftime, so if it wraps over, it might get
complicated.


forfiles /P D:\ /M *.* /S  /C "cmd /c if @fsize gtr 209715200 echo @path
@fsize @fdate @ftime"

Now press WINDOWSKEY + R at the same time. In the box that pops up, type the
letters CMD and press enter.

 

In the window that pops up then, paste that line by clicking the right mouse
button and then hit enter and see what Jaws says.

I'm not too familiar with how Jaws interacts with the command prompt,
but if you paste this one single line into a command prompt (aka cmd)
window, it will list all files on D bigger than 200Mb.

The line to paste follows after this line, and the answer was found at
http://superuser.com/a/380108/98777 if you want to know more.

forfiles /P D:\ /M *.* /S  /C "cmd /c if @fsize gtr 209715200 echo
@path @fsize @fdate @ftime"
