The original was a replacement PC keyboard with the addition of horizontal and vertical slider controls topped with read buttons. Due to the screen in those days being 25 x 80 character cells, the sliders gave you tactile feedback and this, combined with audio output from the hardware provided excellent screen orientation.

turning off the "sent with mail" signature
Rosemarie Chavarria
Hi, everyone,
I’m using the mail app now and I do really like it. How do I turn off the “sent with mail” part of the signature? I don’t want to always hear that after signing a message.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you need an archive of older versions then for these eventualities. Actually as I've said before, I am not happy about this fast churn of windows support, and as you suggest in your reply educational and corporate uses are not treated in this cavalier fashion, reinforcing my feeling that the great unwashed home user is being used as a live testbed every six months.

Re: Files not showing
Gene
You don't change this setting in properties.
There is a specific setting to tell Windows to show hidden files. there
may be another to tell Windows to show system files. Since the files
appear to be there, they may be hidden or, less likely, have been incorrectly
designated as system files.

In the properties control on the Documents folder,
it shows 286 files but when displaying the folder I see 13 subfolders and only
two files; an ini file and a zip file. Yes, I did start to put files into
the folders I created for them but I didn't get very many moved. When I
look at the subfolders, all the files that I moved do show up in there. I
don't remember file names so I can't very well do a search.
I don't know what kind of an update it did.
When I shut it down, it said it would do an update and then shut down. I
didn't get a choice. Maybe there's a place where I can roll back to before
the update; kind of like a restore point in xp.

Re: Mouse Over
Jonathan COHN
There is an fairly accessible web interface to the Apple store infrastructure at: https://fnd.io
I searched for Blind Square there and found this page: https://fnd.io/#/us/podcast/948257850-blindsquares-posts-by-blindsquare
This site was used as a demo for developing accessible react web pages at a conference I was listening to online. FYI react is the component library used and developed by Facebook I did find after doing my search that there was little feedback that it had completed, but updated information was on the screen.

Noah,
Based on the title of your topic it's most likely NVDA telling you that your Version of Windows 10 (1703) is out of date. That version loses all support from Microsoft in 8 days. You should have moved along to Version 1709, followed by Version 1803, long ago. You need to update Windows 10 very, very soon.
