[gui-talk] Jaws won't say "control C" on folder names inWindowsExplorer

[Joel Deutsch]

Hi Rob,

I never even attempted to copy a folder from its position at the top of what 
we're referring to as the files list view. I stat, unknowingly, that's what 
I've been trying unsuccessfully to do with this new computer, because, 
please listen, when I launch Windows Explorer it lands me in the files list 
view of some folder, or on a folder at the top of the list even though I'm 
assuming I ought to be on the left side in the folders tree view. If that's 
my problem, then I'll find out next time I play with this laptop. See? But 
as for the other thing you say:

the tree view. What are you talking about? Not being sarcastic. Really 
perplexed. Thanks.

Hello Joel and everyone.

I agree with Wayne that it copying a file or folder from the list view
instead of the Windows tree view is proven to be a much more reliable method
based on my considerable experience with this basic Windows file management
function.
