Because of the way viruses often disguise themselves as legitimate files
by adding an extension, it's always a good idea to have it tell you file
extensions. I don' know why MS has this turned off by default.

---- Well, you don't need to hear a file's extention to know what file type it is. If you are either in my computer or in windows explorer, you must choose details on the view menu. Then jaws will tell you the file type of the file. It will give you all the information about the file: the size the modification date as well as the file type. But if you really want to hear the extention as well follow these steps: Depending which version of windows you're using find the folder options dialogue either under view or tools. Then press control+tab till jaws says: view tab. Then tab till you get an advanced settings tree view. Type the word hide which will bring you to an option: hide files with known extentions. Press spacebar to turn this option on or off. If it's on, jaws will read extentions as well. close the dialogue with ok. But it's not necessary to hear the extention if jaws read to you which file type it is. hth

Hello everyone: does anyone know how can the following be fixed? if i have a song with a .mp3 extention I noticed that jaws only reads the title but not the extentions. How could I fix this? this happens with software and music pretty much with everything that contains an extention. thanks Juan
