Hi Ann, Thanks ever so much! I went down to navigation, and checked the check box, which said to expand, and it is now showing up. Thanks again.

Re: File explorer help needed
I haven't said anything so far because I don't think that the current view really has anything to do with what you are describing. The current view should not affect what is displayed on the context menu. I am not sure why you are experiencing this problem and I cannot immediately think of any setting which will change what items are displayed on the context menu.

Hello, So, here's the story. A few hours ago, when I pressed the applications key, I got things like 7zip menu, another similar app, which, I can't spell, cut, copy, send to, so on. After playing with control folders from the run dialog, and no, no clues what I did, I now get things like group sub menu, sort sub menu, and so on. After trying to put it back how it was for the last 40 minutes, I'm afraid I'm lost. Anyone knows what setting? I know its either in general or view tab, not search. LOL, not much, I know.

Re: New Protection Step For Your Social Security Account
Hi all, Yes, that means you have a google account. You can sign in and set up your google profile and all that. I was astonished at how easy it was to do it. I now have a gmail address which is probably not going to be used unless I get a Touch or a B2G. But the neatest thing was that instead of using a CAPTCHA, they allowed you to receive a code on your phone. You just type in the code and you're good to go. Ann P. -- Ann K.

Dear all, For all those who not only wish Pokemon go to be made accessible but also those who wish this game to perhaps serve as a prime example for future mainstream video games, please sign this petition requesting for its accessibility, with petition contents and signing link all below: "Pokémon Go is a craze which is currently taking the world by storm, recently passing 50 million downloads on the App store and making millions of people leave their homes in search of rare Pokémon, making them more social in the process. However, there are certain groups of people who are excluded from this phenomenon. Because of the way some of the game mechanics work and the way it was programmed, the built-in software to read the screens of the iOS and Android operating systems to aid people with disabilities is not able to recognize the text being displayed in the game. There are also some mechanics, such as catching the Pokémon which require you to know where the creature is visually on the screen which would need additional audio queues. The American Foundation Of The Blind has written a detailed blog post explaining what changes need to be done to make the game playable at this link: http://www.afb.org/blog/afb-blog/pokemon-go-letandrsquos-catch-andrs quoem-all/12
With these few enhancements Pokemon Go could gain a whole new base of players. To this date, not a single Pokemon game has been fully playable without asking someone for help or using text guides. Finally, both Sony and Microsoft started making their consoles speak displayed text and Nintendo is the only company that has not implemented any accessibility features and now is the time for this to change. Companies like Apple and Google (and Niantic being a former Google company should know this), are making it increasingly easier for developers to make assistive technologies like screen readers and magnifiers work well with their applications and games. We think that Niantic and Nintendo should set an example and do something that no AAA developer has tried before and make Pokemon go Playable by all! There’s no reason why visually impaired people shouldn’t be able to be a part of this massive community and make friends with other gamers. This petition will be delivered to: John Hanke Niantic Inc."

Re: Petition to make Pokémon Go playable by blind and VI players on Android and iOS
No, the sigh is an indication of my opinion of this game. But since I don't want to start a debate on the subject, enough said.

Dear all, For all those who not only wish Pokemon go to be made accessible but also those who wish this game to perhaps serve as a prime example for future mainstream video games, please sign this petition requesting for its accessibility, with petition contents and signing link all below: "Pokémon Go is a craze which is currently taking the world by storm, recently passing 50 million downloads on the App store and making millions of people leave their homes in search of rare Pokémon, making them more social in the process. However, there are certain groups of people who are excluded from this phenomenon. Because of the way some of the game mechanics work and the way it was programmed, the built-in software to read the screens of the iOS and Android operating systems to aid people with disabilities is not able to recognize the text being displayed in the game. There are also some mechanics, such as catching the Pokémon which require you to know where the creature is visually on the screen which would need additional audio queues.

With these few enhancements Pokemon Go could gain a whole new base of players. To this date, not a single Pokemon game has been fully playable without asking someone for help or using text guides.

Re: KB Petition to make Pokémon Go playable by blind and VI players on Android and iOS
Hi Bhavesh Sir, Pokemon Go is not banned in most of the countries and markets where it has been released, but is simply growing in popularity. Very few countries such as Egypt have clamped a ban, and a few like Indonesia have restricted its access to public officials in its country. However, for the most part it continues to flourish and thrive in an increasing player base. In India too, despite no official release, people are grabbing APKs and playing relentlessly in massive numbers. Thanks.

Re: Printer Recommendations
My Cannon 3900 has buttons that can be felt. It turns off after a certain amount of time of disuse. I don't know how much time, but I just know to always power it on whenever I want to print something.
Bye for now,

I and others I know have set up this printer which can connect wirelessly or via USB independently and it works well. Cartridge of which there is only one can be easily inserted and removed with no issues. while the power button doesn’t change position it is easy enough to tell when it’s powered on or off. Note: as I’ve experienced a few power outage in recent weeks I now know that this unit defaults to a state of being off after such. So if you’re in the habit of keeping it turned on should power go out do remember to turn it back on so as not to be confronted with the uh oh why is my printer job stuck. Since I’m under windows 10 I had to download its software from its maker’s site for installation but it was easy enough to do so and walk through using screen reading software. paper rests in a tray on the bottom of the front and just above that is a door that opens and eases down to reveal the envelope entry slot. I do hope that helps. Robin From: Gerald Levy <mailto:bwaylimited@verizon.net> Sent: Friday, July 29, 2016 5:11 PM To: main@TechTalk.groups.io <mailto:main@TechTalk.groups.io> Subject: [TechTalk] Printer Recommendations Okay,so I turned on my Samsung ML2010 monochrome laser printer, and it powered up normally. But I adjusted the print cartridge and turned it off and on a couple of times, and now it’s totally dead. I get the connect and disconnect sounds when I turn it on and off, respectively, but there is absolutely no fan noise or any other sign that it is working, so I must have done something to it. And of course, it doesn’t print. So now I’m in the market for a new monochrome laser printer. Can anyone recommend a monochrome laser printer that is usable without sighted help? I’m not interested in an all-in-one printer, just a basic laser printer for occasional printing jobs that preferably has a toggle power switch and does not have an LCD screen with menus that would be totally inaccessible and has a cartridge that is easy to replace by touch. Please provide specific brands and model numbers. Thanks. Gerald
