I never saw such a View menu in Control Panel. It's always had a list of options for how things are to be displayed, including Tiles, and icons, and list, and details, thumbnails, arrange items this way and that, etc., and all that stuff. I have no idea why you don't have a view menu like that. Anyone else know why this person has an abbreviated View menu in Control Panel? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Slade Sellers" <sladesell@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 9:30 PM Subject: Re: jaws not saying control panel list hey, under view i only have: tool bar sub menu exploer sub menu go to status bar refresh no list or details option what do i do now thanks, slade ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 10:37 PM Subject: Re: jaws not saying control panel list > Go to the control Panel.
