There are extra steps required in Win10 for built in apps unlike anything in Win7, but otherwise it's the same.

CTRL+SHIFT+N for new folder is as old as Windows itself.

There are scads of keyboard shortcuts that any individual won't know about.  I must admit,  though,  that this one is so frequently useful for a keyboard driven user that I'm shocked you hadn't been acquainted with it ages ago.

Hi all of you.

Pulling out of nvda skype group now because of 1, skypes uncertain
future and 2.  the fact I hardly contribute to it, I will shift all my
conversational contributions to this list from now on if I havn't
allready.

I will still use skype classic for family, but due to things as they
stand I may have to remove skype from my contact and other info, it
will be email for internationals only, skype if they need, but I will
no longer advertise.

Microsoft has lost another user, skype classic interface is easy to
understand, the new one I just don't care for.

Its a pitty its got to end this way but I may as well cut my losses
right now rather than having to bother with things going bang.

I will have to either search for another solution or start paying high
charges for international calls because skype new versions are
inaccessible.

Way to go ms.

Can't skype classic just be pulled from the update loop and still be
kept active?

You can name it or its defaulted to new folder.

Subject: [nvda] Addint a Desktop Shortcut for Programs or Apps under
Windows 10


The following uses JAWS commands for a couple of things, but any NVDA user
should be able to "translate" to NVDA with relative ease. *

Creating a Desktop Shortcut for a Program/App Under Windows 10*

by Bill White

1. Go to your desktop and make sure nothing is selected. To do this: press
CONTROL plus SPACE, then JAWS (or other screen reader) should say, “Not
Selected.” If you need to, hit CTRL+SPACE again.

2. Press Applications/Menu Key or SHIFT plus F10, and Arrow down to the
New Submenu, then press ENTER.

3. ARROW down to Shortcut then press ENTER.

4. When it asks you to type the location of the shortcut, type:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder

5. TAB to the Next button then press ENTER.

6. When it asks for a name for the shortcut, press the DELETE key then
type: AppsFolder

7. TAB to the Finish button, then press ENTER.

8. Now, on your desktop, you will have a shortcut that reads: AppsFolder

9. If you press ENTER on this shortcut, a special Windows system folder
will open containing all of your apps.

10. Now, create any shortcut for an app as follows:

11. Press ENTER on the AppsFolder icon.

12. Use First-letter Navigation to find and select the app for which you
want the shortcut on your desktop.

13. ARROW down to Create Shortcut, then press ENTER.

14. When it tells you that a shortcut can’t be created here, and it asks
if you want a shortcut on the desktop, press ENTER on Yes.

15. That’s it. Now you will have a shortcut for your desired app on the
desktop, along with the AppsFolder shortcut, which you can use later when
you need to create another desktop shortcut.

somthing that I have noticed is that if I ping a web site in the comand prompt it will read the numbers very slowly then I will not have any nvda at all not even control alt n will always restart my nvda. Somtimes it will but other times it will not. It occures every time I try to do a ping test on any web site it causes nvda to stop working. I will have to do a hard shut down and restart my pc to get my nvda back.

Hi, Sean,

 

Sorry but I agree with Lino. I wouldn't unsub from the NVDA list just because of a change in skype. Like it or not, we do have to accept change when it comes.

Hi.

 

Microsoft pushed out skype 8 preview today to me when I looked for updates.

 

I can't find how to turn it off the options are not in advanced, luckily 

I can still get classic skype, but if this really becomes a problem, my 

plan will to unsubscribe from the nvda group, its about the only thing 

and reason I have skype classic now.

 

After that I will use skype classic for amily things till microsoft 

finally pull it, however, I suspect its going to be a smart device, 

skype and maybe whats app pritty soon.

 

Its also clear that microsoft is now no longer keeping it a secret on 

skype7's death.

 

They are not updating it anymore.

 

Thats fine as long as we can still get it and never get an update for it 

again.

I know of no way to do this.  Maybe an add on could be made with a hot key to announce this information. However, NVDA will announce when all transfers are complete.

Hello how do I find out how much I got left of a download with nvda and file zilla?

thanks

Hank

but many people experienced different browsers and i wish that know
your experience as well as other users observation and test with other
browsers.
which of the browsers that i mentioned did you test?
chromium, vivaldi, slimjet and opera.
i need chrome based browsers for reading pdfs and there is not any
perfect and accessible free program that can supports farsi pdf files
for me.
also, between chromium and google chrome, which one is the best
program for accessibility using with nvda?

If you're looking for a general list which may be applicable to people other

hi antony,
for number 2, as you know, i only have nvda on windows and dont know
and dont have any operating systems and screen reader except windows
and nvda.
i dont use video websites, online shopp, games, messengers, etc.
so, i need the information for general usage of browsers in
accessibility with nvda,
the browsers that are based on gecko and chrome,
and also specially about the browsers that i mentioned there names in
my previous comment.
please help, thanks so much, God bless you!

On 6/4/18, Antony Stone <antony.stone@nvda.open.source.it> wrote:

I do not think you will find such a list, because:

1. browsers change too quickly, with new releases, bug fixes, extra
features etc, so it would be a lot of work to keep any list up to date
with these changes

2. there isn't a single measure of "accessibility" because some browser
features work better with NVDA than with JAWS, some work better with
JAWS
than with Voiceover, some work better with Braille than with speech
output, so there isn't a single way of measuring the accessibility of a
browser that is meaningful to everyone

3. it also depends on what sort of websites you visit and what you want
to do with your browser, so for some purposes and users one browser /
screenreader combination may be best, but for other uses and users that
may not be the best choice.


Regards,


Antony.
