Stacey,Usually these kind of information is displayed at the status bar in a form of tool tip. A tool tip is a small balloon that appears besides the item you are pointing to that describes what the item is or how it works. In order to have JAWS automatically announce this, you'll need to turn on Tool Tip: 1. Press JAWS Key plus 6 to go to Config Manager. 2. Press CTRL plus Shift plus d to select the default file. 3. Go to Set Options/Verbosity settings. press enter on the respective verbbosity settings button (there are three of them, one for beginner, intermediate and advanced). 4. You should land on the list box of what JAWS says. The last item in this box is an item titled "Tool Tip." Move to this item and press SPACE to check it. Press enter. 5. Now on the main Verbosity dialog, go to OK button and press ENTER. At the Config Manager window, press CTRL plus s to save the settings and press Alt Fbled to close the window. From here on, the information that is displayed on the tool tip balloon will be read out to you, such as drive sizes, description about files and folders, descriptions about programs, etc.
