Most anti viruses will scan anything you intend to save to the system. I've noted that msse can do this, but I think most are intelligent enough to check what file type it is first.

Hello!
If you desire, we can send you a money request through Paypal, and you will receive an e-mail from Paypal suggesting to create an Paypal account or other ways of paying, like bank transfer, credit card and so on. If you want to try, we will sent one without any compromise. If you manage to pay, we will sent you the activation code and links to the addons. If not, any problem...

Re: third party rss readers

I tried the RSS reader that is a part of the Webbie
package and, while easy to use, I found that notices aren't necessarily in
chronological order. You may want to try it and see what your experience
is but that's one reason I stopped using it, because I didn't have any way to be
sure I wasn't missing new material without looking at every item in the list of
entries for whatever feed I wanted to follow. If others have a solution to
this, it might prove useful to people who want an easy to use reader. I
haven't tried others so I can't directly answer your question but my answer may
help you if you evaluate this reader.

Re: third party rss readers

Personally I am very happy with the RSS Reader Program provided free along with the other Webbie Accessible Suite of Programs.
There has been a recent slight tsimplification of the program to improve stability where I understand automatic Feed Refresh after the program has been loaded has been removed.
I do not personally find this a problem as all I do is cursor down my list of available feeds. I then hit control R which not only refreshes the feed rapidly but also open up the table of available articles in the feed automatically. then I just press enter on the Feed article and it will load in your browser. Press escape in the article list and you will go back to the feed list. Very simple but it works great.
I paid for the QFeed program from Accessible Apps but to be honest this Free program is far far more stable and fast at loading. RSS Reader has never crashed on me whilst this was a frequent problem with QFeed. Also the support from Alasdair King is good whilst the support on problems with the paid for QFeed is non-existent.

Re: Publishing EBooks with NVDA?
Quentin Christensen
Hi David, I'm being careful what I recommend here as I do have enough sight to use a magnifier and so trying to stick to what I know works with NVDA. Calibre is a good program for putting together eBooks: https://calibre-ebook.com/ As well as doing ePub, it can convert to and from many other formats, including Microsoft Word. I've never had a problem with the output in terms of accessibility - it's what we use to compile the NVDA modules with. In terms of publishing, there are two ways you can go - submit to each site yourself (Apple iBooks, Barnes and Noble, kobo etc, or you can distribute with one of the distribution companies like Smashwords or Draft 2 Digital. Using a service like Smashwords or Draft2Digital, they usually keep a cut of any sales you make, but do save you from having to upload to each individually. It also gets around things like you otherwise need a Mac to upload to iBooks, and you can only upload to Barnes and Noble if you are in the US or UK. None of the big distribution companies seem to do Amazon these days, and as they are the largest book retailer, it's probably worth having your book there. Back on formatting, Apple at least use: http://validator.idpf.org/ to validate and it's recommended to use that anyway just to make sure. The only time I had errors was I think when I had things like spaces in filenames. Regards Quentin.

Re: Questions
Quentin Christensen
As others have noted, WINDOWS+B for the system tray, then use the arrow keys to move through the items and either ENTER or SPACE or APPLICATIONS KEY - depending on what you want to do and how a particular application works. NVDA responds to either but other programs do different things. Note that if you have icons in the "overflow" area, you may consider disabling that and having all system tray icons visible all the time (otherwise you need to activate the overflow area and then navigate around that for any that aren't in the regular area of the system tray) For the mouse, it depends on what you are trying to do. If you are trying to get to a control which you can't get to with the regular navigation keys, then the review cursor and object navigation will often be able to get you there - perhaps with a bit of exploring. The User Guide has a section on the various ways of getting around in chapter 5: http://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html?#toc29 The "Basic Training for NVDA" module has comprehensive sections on both the Review Cursor and Object Navigation. See: http://www.nvaccess.org/shop/ Kind regards Quentin.

Re: mouse movement
David Moore
Hi,

The Golden Cursor is a NVDA add on that you can find on the add ons page. You just download it and press enter on it in your downloads folder and it installs to NvDA as an add on. To look and change your add ons, just press NVDA+N and go to the tools sub menu and press right arrow and go to manage add ons and press enter. You can arrow down through your add ons, and tab to get information on that addon. The key commands I gave for the Golden cursor are all there in the help section of the add on web page. You can find add ons in a number of places, but, you can go to this URL: www.addons.nvda-project.org Take care, David Moore

Re: mouse movement
David Moore
Hi,
I love golden cursor and use it all of the time. You can press the arrow
keys to move the mouse in that direction. You don’t need sighted assistance to
mark places, because here is what you can do with the golden cursor. Press
windows+NVDA+P to get the pixel position of where the mouse pointer is at. The
default for most screens is 1,366 pixels across, and 768 pixels down. The left
is 0 and the top is 0. The X position is given and then the Y position. For
example, the start button is at the position: 24 748. In other words, the mouse
pointer is 24 pixels to the right of the left edge of the screen, and 748 pixels
down from the top. This is almost at the very bottom left corner of the screen.
You can get a very good picture of where things are on the screen by pressing
that command and finding out what pixel position things are on the screen. Now,
to save a pixel position, press CTRL+NVDA+L. type in the X and Y numbers without
a space, and then space and write what that position is, like start bottom, for
example. In other words, you would type: 24748 start button. Just press enter,
and you have saved that position on the screen just like a book marker. Now, to
open a list of positions you have saved, just press shift+NvDA+L and arrow to
the position and press enter. The mouse pointer will go right to that position.
You can access places in programs only by doing this mouse pointer movement and
clicking with the mouse. You can always read with the review cursor and use
object navigation as well to get to a certain place, and press numb pad
insert+numb pad slash to route the mouse pointer to the review cursor. The
laptop position is shift+NVDA+M to do the routing. I would like to ask right
here if any work is being done on Golden Cursor, because I think that is so
powerful, because you can find the position the pointer is on the screen and
save that position like a book mark. That is so powerful that it makes me jump
up and down. You can use your mouse or touch pad like a sighted person by using
the Golden Cursor. You can also go to ease of access center and set your
computer to move the mouse pointer with the mum lock turned on instead of off to
use NVDA commands.

Subject: [nvda] mouse movement There is an add in called golden cursor. You will need sighted assistance to place the mouse where you want to mark. Its been a while since I used it, so would have to review how it works. Also, I took a usb mouse and covered the mouse part on the bottom that tracks the pointer around and use it just for clicking on things, This makes it very easy to use and you don’t have to worry about moveing the pointer around when you don’t want it to move.

Re: Anti Virus
Pauline Smith
I also try to practice good and sound computer use. I am skeptical about opening attachments and visit web sites with caution. I do schedule my computer for full scanning weekly and may change that to daily.
This brings up a question. For anyone using Security Essentials on a Windows 7 machine, how do you check to see if any items were quarantined, removed, and such after a scan? I am using NVDA with the most recent update.

Re: mouse movement
Gene
I don't have your original message any longer but
here are my answers based on my recollection of the questions.
First, there is a Windows command to move to the
system tray. It is Windows key b. Insert b is an NVDA command that
reads the currently active Window.
But if you want to use something that is almost
identical to the JAWS system tray dialog, there is an NVDA add on you can get
that does this. The command to open the system tray dialog when you use
the add on is the same as in JAWS, insert f11. You can use either
insert. Once opened, select an item in the list and tab around the dialog
to see how things are organized and what short cut commands do what. For
example, you will hear that right click is alt r.
As far as mouse movement is concerned, you may want
to try using the golden cursor add on. I haven't done so and I would very
strongly urge you to learn NVDA screen review commands before deciding what you
want to do about the golden Cursor add on. When you know how to move
around using screen review commands, you can move the mouse to the current place
you are at when using screen review by issuing the command numpad insert numpad
slash. That is, hold the numpad insert and while doing so, press numpad
slash. It's the key to the right of the numpad. If you then want to
click the mouse, press numpad slash by itself.
I am giving desktop keyboard layout commands for
mouse commands. I don't use the laptop layout and I don't know those
commands.
I would suggest that you listen to at least part of
a good tutorial on NVdA, particularly topics dealing with screen review.
you may save yourself time, trouble, and frustration if you learn in an
organized manner.
I'll let other list members discuss
tutorials. Joseph Lee created a very good one. If no one else gives
the link, I'll look it up and give it. Other list members may discuss
other tutorials.
If you don't learn well with tutorials but you do
with material in the form of a manual, you may want to learn from the user
guide. But in my experience, most computer users much prefer tutorials so
that's what I'm discussing in this message.

Re: Questions
Ibrahim, I'm not sure whether this is what you want with regard to the system tray, but WinKey+B immediately throws focus on the system tray and you can then navigate to whatever you wish to that's in it quite easily. You just have to remember that the overflow area, where things that are in the system tray but for which you have not elected to always show icon, is what you land on first. Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you’re alive, it isn’t. ~ Lauren Bacall
