Do you have "details" checked in the view menu? Press alt+v in windows explorer
and then just press d. insert+ctrl+numbers on the number row should work. Also
be sure that the window is maximized.

Thanks! Looks like in XP I have an "arrange by" menu in the context but when
I arrow down it only gives the column titles and not the actual information.
sounds like an enhancement in Windows 7.
Appreciate you taking the time to explain.

Dave:
I am using Window 7 and here is what I do.
1. Focus on the item in question, lets say its the song animal by def
lepard.
2. I remove selection by doing F5 or in my case CTRL space bar.
3. I bring up the context menue by doing Shift F10 or the applications key.
4. I arrow down to sort by and right arrow into the sub menue. (here when
I arrow down I will here name, number, title, etc.
5. if a detail is not being echoed that I would like to hear, I arrow to
the more choices dot dot dot option and press enter.
6. You can arrow down now and check the appropriate choice you would like
to be echoed, for example, I have name, number, title and length checked.
7. I tab over until I hear width of selected column (in pixels) and type
in 100 and tab to ok and press spacebar.
Now when I go back into my music folder and jump to def lepard and use my
right arrow key, I will hear: number 182 out of 761, title animal, contributing
artist def lepard, album volt greatest hits and length 00:4.03.
Again, I am using window 7, I have done this on vista but I am not sure
about XP.
Take care.

Kimsan,
Sorry to be pushy, but please tell me how you can read the various columns
using the arrow keys. I use Insert+Ctrl+1, 2, 3, etc. Using the arrow keys in a
list view does nothing. If you know something that I don't I'd sure like to
learn about it. Enquiring minds want to know.

Hi Dave Kimsan, & Peter;
1 other way you can get file information while in list view, is with the
file highlighted, press the Insert / Jaws key + page down / 3 key. Hope this
helps. Take care.

Hi Dave;
Using XP, with detail view checked, I get the same results as you and
can't get any information using the arrow keys. Which leads me to the
question, what operating systems are Peter & Kimsan running? I know Kimsan
runs Windows7 but, I don't know about Peter. Daniel, good point! Take care.

Peter,
IF you're using Ctrl+Alt+arrow, then that's what I hear, also. The
keystrokes are Insert+Ctrl+the numbers 1, 2, etc.

Peter Do you have your view set to details or Icons?
Set it to details and see what you get.

Hi, if I've understood correctly, in windows explorer set the
view to
details under the view menu. Then as you move down to a file,
you can press
left and right arrow keys to move to the various bits of
information i.e.
file type, size etc.
