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

[Joel Deutsch]

LOL. No, but I may as well give that a try. tomorrow. Typing this on my 
desktop. Need a lot of energy and no migraine-class headache to engage with 
that darling laptop.

But I'll find the exec file and give a repair a fair try. Let you know what 
happens.
