Hi, Mike,
Thanks for the suggestions.  But, neither the right arrow nor the
applications key does anything when I search and find my files.
And, I can only find them if I type in a couple of letters in the
search box.  I cannot find them any other way and I cannot do
aonthing but press enter on them.  The two files in question are
podcasts and so they will start playing when I press enter on
either of them.  But, I cannot copy or move them to another place
or save them to another drive or aoything.  And, with other files
that I have searched for, I can't find them if I go into a folder
where I think they are.  For example, I know that I have
downloaded files into the "downloads" folder  that are not
digital talking books but all I can find when I go into the
downloads folder are the digital talking books.  If I type
something into the search box, I will find them but I cannot find
their actual location.  Is this making any sense at all? I don't
know how better to explain.  But it is very frustrating not to be
able to find my files aoy other way but typing a few letters into
the search box.  Is there any key command that will hels me find
where the files are located?
Debbi

Debbie:

With respect, quit beating up on yourself and thinking you
changed a
setting.  The people who designed Windows 7 figured that
(contrary to the
way you and I think), people were *more* confused looking for
files.  When
your search finds one of the files you wish to access (as you say
it does),
does not hitting right-arrow get you to a list of possible
actions?  or
hitting the Applications Key?  Does not hitting ENTER take the
default
action for a file, as in playing it?

Mike

 Hi,

 I have windows 7, 64-bit and am currently using JAWS 11.  I
download
 things
 but cannot find them.  When I do a search, they show up but, I
cannot see
 what folders they are in and I find that I cannot select, copy
or move
 them.
 Well, I can select them but canot copy or move them.  Is there
some
 setting
 I should change or something I should do?  for example, when I
searched
 for
 a podcast I'd downloaded, I couldn't find the file by name but,
when I did
 a
 search, it appears to, somehow, be in "my music" but I cannot
find it.
 This
 is an HP computer and, perhaps something in their windows 7
software
 installation is set strangely.  Or, perhaps I have inadvertently
changed
 some setting.  Any thoughts as to how to fix it?  Thanks.
