JAWS Scripts:

http://dlee.org/skype/

Hi, is skype accessible with Jaws?  Are there scripts if so where do you find these things?

You are mistaken, it is possible and also easily undoable with at least 2 file explorer replacements that I've seen. I just setup my Xplorer 2 to do this and it works quite well and undoing it is as simple as toggling it off in its native settings.

`Unless I am sadly and seriously mistaken, it's either not possible or very complicated to change what Windows uses for a file exploration application, and if it is possible at all, there's an inherent danger in doing so. If the third-party application crashes or becomes unusable for any reason, the user effectively loses access to Windows since it all hinges on the explorer interface. If you do find a way to make a third-party application replace File Explorer, do it with full image backup in hand in case it cannot be undone and things go badly.

For the moment I’m experimenting with the FileDir application Ann was
kind enough to share with me. It looks great, but I didn’t realize I
needed to first go to that application to make it work with my various
folders and files. Will this also be true of Xplorer? I guess I was
thinking I could click on the Dropbox icon and have the new
application automatically kick in, completely bypassing File Explorer.
I want the process of interacting with files to be more efficient, not
add another step, but if this is the logic behind File Explorer
alternatives, I’ll quit my whining and get used to the bigger
advantages. Thank you all so much for patiently answering my
questions.

Same here. In fact, I just upgraded to the latest 4.x release. This
is the Cadillac of file managers IMHO. Completely accessible with
tons of redefinable hotkeys and now with macros as well. I haven't
really explored the new macro feature but it sounds interesting.
Totally accessible right out of the box with JFW and I would imagine
with NVDA as well as Narrator although I haven't used the program with those screen readers as of yet.

Joe,

I am using Xplorer2. A explorer replacement with two panes, so you
see two folders on the screen.
Tabkey will switch panes.
With f5 you can copy or f6 move. You can copy/move from pane to pane.
The program has more options for searching and the searchresults
will be displayed in a ceperate explorer like window.
It wil l call this a scrab container.

You can also place files in this scrabcontainer window. The files
does not to be from the same folder.
You can copye these files from the scab container.

You can find more information about this program at the link below.
The program is not free. There is also a lite version that is for
free or you can try the pro version for a 14 or 30 days.

I am using it for maybe 10 years now and like it.

And the windows file explorer is also good, but this program has
more options and I can do my work more quickly.

I have made a script that will make it a bit nicer in xplorer2 so if
you will try the program, then I can send you these scripts.

Kind regards, marten

Hi Steve,

Going back to Windows 7, I’ve often gotten property errors when
attempting to copy internal files to external or remote server
sources. I’m not sure I would have even minded these errors, except
it takes a while for the errors to pop up. After I tell the
application to ignore the property issues and apply the rule to all
related files, the transfer process tends to speed up, but when
uploading files to a server, the process is still laborious.
Granted, that is not so much a fault of File Explorer and more an
issue of bandwidth, but in general, I have found the application
far more clunky in Windows 10 than I even did in Windows 7. It
feels unnecessarily slow, so I really appreciate Ann providing me a
copy of FileDir. I can’t wait to give it a shot when I get home later.

Aside from how it looks, I've heard people complain about File and
Windows Explorer since time immemorial and have always asked
myself, what's wrong with it. Now I have the opportunity to ask an
actual user who wants an alternative. OK, Joe, what is it about
File Explorer that you don't like? In what situations does it
respond slowly? I've been using Windows since version 1--yes,
since it was invented--and I think Explorer crashed two, maybe
three times, so what errors have you experienced while using it?


OK, let's get down to it then. I found this article very
informative and might try some of these.

Hello

I’m looking for an alternative to File Explorer. Ideally it will
be a bit faster and less prone to errors, but mostly, I would
like for it to be accessible with JAWS. I don’t mind paying for
an alternative if someone can show the application is a good one.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Joe
