Mark,
There are two questions here.
1. Is the information I want on screen? Christopher and George have
mentioned how you can make sure this is so.
2. How do I get JAWS to read it? JAWS automatically reads out the whole
line for the first item you land on in a list view, but for subsequent
items it only reads out the file name itself, which is all that is
highlighted. Insert + UpArrow is the JAWS keystroke for reading out the
whole line and this should get you the other information that appears on
screen.

Dear Christopher
I have done this, and when I first of all go into my "C" drive it reads
out the file extension for the first file type, but then not for the
rest. I have opened the view menu as you suggest, but somehow the
option does not seem to work every time I arrow around the documents or
folders?
Do I need to have some kind of setting activated in my jaws version 7?
Many thanks
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
when in the list of documents, press alt v and it will come up
in the view menu, tap the letter d this will make sure that you have the
details displayed at the end of the file name.
Hope that this helps.

Subject: [jaws-uk] File Types and Folders or Documents
Dear all
Not sure if these two issues are a Jaws issue or a
windows issues?
1. How can I please find out with JFW 7.0 what types of
documents I have stored on my PC, ie, a Doc format file, a PDF format
file or an HTML format. I am aware that documents have file extensions
after their names, but jaws does not seem to be reading this out to me?
2. When I am arrowing around the files in either owners
documents or on my "C" drive, is there a way in which jaws can tell me
if the file name is either a folder or document please? I think there
is a different type of visual symbol on the screen, but can not hear
Jaws telling me if I am on a folder with files in it or an actual file
document.
Many thanks for any help with this query.
Best wishes
Mark
