Hi Stacy,
If you want to navigate your hard drive this way, just use Windows Explorer
instead of my computer. You can bring it up by pressing Windows key E. It
will land you on My Computer, but in fact you're already in a two-pane
window, with the tree view list of your folders and drives on the left, and
a files list view of the contents of each folder on the right. Just arrow
down quickly past the diskette ("floppy, 3 1/2 ") drive so you're not asked
to insert a diskette in your A drive and stop on what you'll hear jaws
announce as Local Drive C. Now you're right where you're wishing you could
be. If you do get stuck on the floppy drive, just press enter on the Cancel
option, then arrow down more quickly.
Starting there, arrow down and explore all the folders on your hard drive.
If you go down far enough so that you go past the last alphabetical folder
on your C drive and get stuck on your CD/DVD drive and Windows asks you to
insert something, just press cancel, notice that you wind up on the folder
just above that, and consider that the bottom of your hard drive folder
list. You can always arrow down carefully to see what's listed below this
point, but for starters, that isn't the area of your main concern.
When you're on a folder whose contents you'd like to inspect, press Tab and
you'll be in the files list view of that folder. Also, if a folder says it's
closed, then right arrow to open it and see what subfolders are within it.
Hope this is a good start.

Subject: viewing yor c drive
Hi all,
WhenI look at my c drive on my computer, I'd like everything to appear in a
list sothat I can just use my down arrow with jfw to look at things. I
tried going in to the view menu with alt v but I can't find a place to check
list. Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Stacey and GEB dog Chesley
