Re: accessible securly disk wiper
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
Paragon used to make a disk wiping softeware that was accessible in the windows XP days. They still have the disk wiping, but it's rolled in with their disk programs (either their partition program or their disk copy program). Neither one of these programs are 100 percent accessible, but they are likely accessible enough to do the job. I have both of these programs,, and have used both for various things, though I've not (yet) used either one for wiping a disk, the rest of the utilities are accessible (albeit with some difficulty) with the demo of jaws, though not so much with NVDA which is why I'd been asking about making programs accessible using NVDA scripting. I have yet to find any way to make an inaccessible program accessible, though I have found multiple ways to make accessible programs inaccessible with NVDA scripting. :) But anyway, I know this isn't exactly a glowing review of the above programs, but with some effort, they can be made to do what you want, but do be patient.

Re: NVDA and repeating clickible

Evidently, clickable is now controllable as
indicated in the below message. It didn't used to be but if this change
has been made, then a good deal of my last message is no longer relevant.
I do think that clickable is better left on a lot of the time but there are
times when it is important to be able to turn it off.

Re: NVDA and repeating clickible

I don't think the clickable announcement can be
turned off. I would submit that this should be able to be turned off, just
as other notifications can be in document formatting. Recently, I was
taking a quiz and the answers were clickable items, and not links. It was
maddening to hear item after item with clickable repeated time after time after
time. Since most words in the quiz responses were clickable, clickable was
spoken before almost every word in the responses. While I don't think
clickable should be turned off most of the time, we should have the choice to
silence it when desired.

Re: sea cleaner is accessible / thanks
CCleaner, a product of Piriform, was known as "Crap Cleaner" way back when at the time it was first released. It got changed to CCleaner when it became a commercial product. Crap Cleaner is an accurate description of its overall function, though there are other specific ones such as the drive wiper that are part of it. The main idea is that it goes through your system looking for files that it knows often get left behind when programs are installed/uninstalled, browser cache, etc., and removes them to free up space. I hasten to add that it has a Registry Cleaner function that I don't suggest that anyone use. I used to use it and it never harmed any machine I used it on, but as I've entered into more and more depth regarding the registry I have become convinced that the camp that says registry cleaners can unintentionally introduce many more problems than they solve is correct. Just because it has the function is not a good reason to use it. Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you’re alive, it isn’t. ~ Lauren Bacall

Re: NVDA and repeating clickible
Dejan Ristic
I also encounter it, but if I want to skip the repetition, I press NVDA plus tab to check the focus of an element I am on, and then I continue working so as to prevent it from slowing me down. That's how I get alogn with it, and, if I want to skip it completely (considering the fact that I am familiar with a web-page), I turn the option off, so that the repetition disappears.

Re: accessible securly disk wiper
Rich, with the transition to universal apps and the like, I never know how accessible any given program might be to someone in the abstract. You could certainly try out CCleaner Standard Free to see if it works for you. Under the Tools Pane is the Drive Wiper tool. Once you've selected that you have a dialog that lets you choose:

Re: mouse movement
I will preface this with: I know nothing about the Golden Cursor add-on and what follows is not intended as any sort of comment about its utility. Don't forget that NVDA has what I think is a major improvement over other screen readers in its mouse tracking function. Once you develop some slight skill in using the mouse to "scan" the page, even without being able to see exactly where the mouse is, you can get a very good "quick and dirty" knowledge of what is actually on that page, particularly in regard to controls and general content. I have tried to teach my clients to not "be afraid of the mouse" when used for this purpose and to be willing to actually use it for left and right click (which is easy to do if you keep it in a caddy so it can't move across the surface on which it rests). I don't often "succeed" (for lack of a better term) as much with an actual mouse as I do with a mouse pad, because it's a simple matter to mask the mouse pad with a piece of heavy cardboard for when you don't want to be activating it accidentally while still having full and easy access to the actual left and right mouse buttons. I would imagine, based on the description of Golden Cursor, that there could be a powerful wedding between its ability to save a specific location for later "snapping to" and NVDA's mouse tracking to allow you to do a quick "fly over" of a page to find those locations you might want to use with Golden Cursor. If I'm wrong about this I'm sure someone will set me straight as to how, and I'm more than willing to hear that. This is conjecture based on very little knowledge of Golden Cursor.

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
David Griffith
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.
