Is this a change in Windows 7 to only show the 8.3 format. XP certainly shows the full file name. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Carlson" <dgcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

However this is from the command prompt and the filenames will be shortened to 8.3 format.Dave Carlson Produced on a Nokia N95 using Nuance TALKS screen-reading software. -original message- Subject: RE: making a list in windows explorer From: "Martin, Sandra M" <Sandra.M.Martin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 08-17-2010 14:02 You can print to a text file.

My window is maximized, and it still happens. Bill White billwhite92701@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message -----From: john R.

In looking at this, I note That files and folders will show up but only 28 to a page. after you virtualize the screen, you would have to use control key plus letter A to highlight the text in this virtual window and then use control key plus letter C to copy the virtualized screen to the clipboard so you could then paste the text in notepad, wordpad or word. Unfortunatlly you would have to do this a number of times as you only can get 28 items on each screen. hope this helps but then someone may know of a program. In any event, hopefully this post reminds us all of this little trick Jaws provides us with to capture any screen including any error message screens so we can read it.
