I don't know what operating system you have and it may be slightly different
for others but this is how I set the 'show file extensions' when displaying
folder lists in Windows 2000.
1 On start menu press enter on 'Settings' (this is Documents and Settings in
XP)
2. Press enter on 'Control Panel' Find 'Folder Options' and press
enter
Press Control + tab until you are on the 'View' tab
Press tab once to get into the treeview and press alt+down arrow to open it.
Arrow down until you hear the option 'Hide file extentions for known file
types' and use the space bar to switch it off.
Note there are other settings listed here which may be of interest to you)
Tab to 'OK' and press enter

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
