Molly, Think about your own user name, your description of what you did (which is perfect, by the way) then think about what Gene wrote: "And those without experience in placing a portable program . .

And it wasn't just me that has said this. "Portable copy makers" (I won't call them installers, because they are NOT installing anything) had ought to, as a matter of practice, create a dedicated fold

People should check, because what you report does happen to a subset of Windows 10 users, and for reasons I have never been able to determine. Not a single one of my 5 machines here at home has ever h

Mary, Have you tried the default dictionary addition I've documented earlier? I have yet to see it fail, regardless of synth, and I'd be really curious to know if it does fail with any specific synth.

Quentin, Specific question: Was it only cup, or cups, or both that said "Cuban Pesos." For me it is only ever the singular. And in this recipe specifically coming after a fraction not represented as a

Yep. The most inane and counterintuitive change Microsoft introduced. I have nothing against the Fast Startup, per se, but I do have a huge problem with how people can and do believe that doing a shut

Yes, you could. You could also activate the browse button and navigate to a chosen folder. But it's blank by default, and a great many people browse to the drive they want to use, and that's it. There

Not that I doubt this, and it prompted me to test under Windows 10, Version 1903, Build 18362.295, and it does not occur. I've switched the default browser app while all of the browsers are open and b

Seriously, this is exactly the sort of OS eccentricity that calls out for Doing a Windows 10 Repair Install or Feature Update Using the Windows 10 ISO file I agree it's crazy/bizarre, which suggests s

This topic just appeared on the JAWS group: https://jfw.groups.io/g/main/message/71568 Since the poster describes the situation exactly, and gives the steps to get where the problem occurs, I won't re

As a general note, setting anything as default under Windows 10 must be done in Windows 10 Settings, Apps, Default apps. The "in program" dialogs are an anachronism that "don't stick" under Windows 10

Suzy, I just did the default dictionary entry using cup/Cup as described earlier, and made sure to make the context "Whole Word" at the end of the dialog, as I don't want, say, "cupid" mispronounced,

Not an unreasonable practice, but I'd have way too many USB thumb drives were this to be my standard practice!! I try to keep my equipment clutter, including stuff like thumb drives, to the minimum po

Fascinating. It has to be the same sort of "very context specific" thing going on. What context would trigger a .mp3 extension to be pronounced as Mariana Islands would be interesting to ferret out. A

I agree. Some things that create portable copies also create a dedicated folder for same, others don't, and NVDA doesn't. If I intend to have a portable copy of NVDA on a drive where I want lots of ot

There is no uninstaller for a portable version. You just delete it. If you had nothing else on that drive, then open the drive, create a folder named NVDA, then select all else on the drive and move i

It's been ages since I last played with this, but if memory serves once you've created the portable version of NVDA on a USB drive you are free to create a folder for it and move it there and/or creat

Absolutely. Microsoft has made as many versions/editions of Office as one could care to think about, and many one would prefer not to. They also push Office 365, regardless of the variant, as being "t

Incorrect. Period. Any of the "year dated" versions of MS Office are locally installed. I prefer that, and that's why I have those. Office 365 is online/cloud based, though there are local components

Jean, You're quite welcome. That one was insanity-making for me, too, and it was one of the easiest "dictionary fixes" I've ever worked on. When you start getting into some of the complex regular expr
