Change the folder as follows: 1. Alt+v (view menu) 2. Choose 'customize this folder' 3. Change the first selection to all items 4. Click ok That should do it, your folder probably just got changed to another type From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 9:09 AM To: JFW list Subject: JAWS Not Speaking File Details Hi gang. I'm really stumped. For some reason, JAWS no longer speaks the detail information for each file as I scroll through the list of files in a particular folder. JAWS will speak the file name but not the detail information like file type, file size and creation date. I have Details checked on the View menu for all folders and files on my computer. Strangely, I can get the detail information by using the JAWS cursor or by pressing the Alt key twice to launch and exit the Menu bar. I haven't changed any JAWS or Windows Explorer settings. This behavior just started recently. Can anyone explain why JAWS now only speaks the file names and not the other detail information when I scroll through a list of files? Is there any way to fix things so that JAWS once again speaks the file details without having to switch to the JAWS cursor or pressing the Alt key twice? I'm running JAWS 9 with XP Pro. Thanks. Gerald
