Alright, yes, my notions about this are probably limited to using File Explorer; I imagine the status line in Word doesn’t show the number of files either as that doesn’t really seem part of its

Correct. Sometimes it doesn’t bring up this detail.

Sorry for sounding like a broken record, but I honestly can’t understand why you guys don’t just press insert-pgdn. Does it not work for you as it does on my machine?

Hi, JM. It seems everyone’s experience is different. In my case, it used to be that I couldn’t get an accurate file count when I was working with MS Word. Keep in mind that in that case, I was

Dave: I can’t seem to get this process to work, though, when in a sub-folder view within one of my major folders. Just to be sure, do I invoke the Alt V followed by L and the enter sequence

Yes, fair enough, I didn’t mean to sound impatient, it’s just that I don’t really see how activating another screen reader is a reasonable solution when there are two other great options

Hi, thanks. Been there done that prior to my message, I should have mentioned all my details. Glenn

Hi there, tom. The other comments in this thread are interesting. I’d just add that the nice thing about Narrator in Win10 is that it goes on and off instantly, so there’s no delay. You don’t

Hi, Using Windows 7 64 and latest Jaws. I have Open Book installed, but it is not recognizing my Canon Scanner. It is an N650U. I tried to find drivers at Canon.com, but they said that there are no

No the program is 100% accessible email me if you need any assistance with it

 Looks interesting, I am just going to start exploring it. Are there any needed changes to make it work well with Jaws?

Hello all, Many thanks for your input, but as usual, today I have not got the problem no matter which file or drive I have used. Is that just Murphy’s Law, or some thing like it. I will keep

Guys… I had a feeling about this but couldn’t quite remember, so I just confirmed – in file explorer, your total items count within folders should be displayed on the status line. So just

Well yes,s ame here. If I want one, I would rather get it from windows itself using the folder properties box. I’d trust Windows to keep better track of this stuff than I would a screen-reader.

List, I am running latest windows 10, IE 11 and Jaws 2019. I have two almost identical Toshiba lap tops running intel Core 5 processor and 8 megs of ram. My newer computer, has stopped

I guess I should correct my earlier comment... I’m not always looking for the file count. So, it might be showing the incorrect count most of the time for all I know. But, I have never seen an
