You need to copy those files to this path and then restart NVDA.

Re: How Can I Remove All Traces of NVDA
Rich Beardsley
Hello.
After uninstalling NVDA with the standard Windows uninstallation stepps, bring up the run dialogue with Windows R and type appdata.
Find the Roaming folder, look for the folder called NVDA, then delete it. Whenever you go to install NVDA again, it will be just like any new copy. |

Re: How Can I Remove All Traces of NVDA
Gene
It should, but what problem are you having? Often, when people ask
how to do something, what they want to do isn't a good solution or
an efficient one. I believe people should generally explain what
they actually want to accomplish such as what problem they want to
solve when they ask how to do something because I've seen this so
many times. People give the help the user wants, then later, in
further discussion, it comes out that the actual problem is much
better or more likely to be solved in a different way.

Re: Removed the Tom Voice
Gene
If you look at the voice to be used in NVDA settings, what is it?
If NVDA can't find a voice that it is supposed to use, it will
switch to the default voice. However, it may be looking for the Tom
voice every time you run it. I've tried demos of different voices
and I've never been asked to do anything if I switch the voice NVDA
is set to use. You may need to do that to. Do you know how to use
the select synthesizer dialog to change the voice NVDA uses when it
runs?

Another instance of a setting being lost on upgrade; was, Oops!
Gene
I found a setting that was lost when I upgraded. It was the seting
worded Automatic focus mode for focus changes, in Browse Mode
settings.
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
I had this setting unchecked. The default is checked. After upgrading, the setting was checked. I don't recall having settings change after upgrading in my case before. This occurrence in a setting that may not have been discussed before, raises the question as to whether the bug affects specific settings or is random and can cause any setting to be lost.

I noticed that after updating to the latest NVDA 2023.1.0 that the automatically start NVDA when logged on was unchecked! When I turned on my computer, NVDA just didn't seem to do anything so I used the hotkey and it came on so I know all is good there but then I found that box unchecked so it's fixed now, but why did it get unchecked anyhow? All my other settings seem to be fine though. TTS voice rate and speed etc haven't changed at all. |

Re: Can't make heads nor tails of acrobat reader
JM Casey
Yes, for sure. Do note though that installing a couple of thigns this way did change minor things that I didn’t want changed, like some of my file type default programmes, and of course there was no prompt. It’s not a big deal but I suppose other unwanted setting changes are also possible occasionally.

Re: Can't make heads nor tails of acrobat reader
Gene
Yesterday night, I activated the button and a download began just as
when I do something that initiates a download elsewhere. I didn't
finish downloading the program. I was on the correct page and I
started the download. I wanted to see if and how it could be done.
I didn't intend to use the program.

Re: Can't make heads nor tails of acrobat reader

here is the correct link.

https://www.foxit.com/downloads/#Foxit-Reader/ I just tested the page with Firefox and Brave. With Firefox, if you go into focus mode and tab, you will hear nothing that is on the page. In Brave, you will hear things and hear the download now button when you get to it. I'm going into this because this site forcefully demonstrates two important things to do and know: If you can't find something you think should be on a page such as a button or link, try focus mode. I'm not talking about things like unlabeled links. I'm talking about a situation like on this site, where you expect a download link or button and you don't find one. The other thing is to try more than one browser and, in particular, if you are trying a Chrome-based browser, try a nonChrome one or visa versa. Gene On 3/31/2023 2:48 PM, Gene wrote:

Re: Can't make heads nor tails of acrobat reader
Yeah, I probably did. That site just has “see link” for everything. They have no clear labels and one took me to a German site. Woops? I got back to English somehow. But that site is a bit of a mess to work with so, winget for the win.
