Hi Denise,

Answer to first question

To have the computer ask you what to do with thumb drives...

1. Press Windows and R to bring up the "Run" dialogue box.
2. Type control, and press Enter.

Subject: [GUI-Talk] Thumb drives

Hello all,

I am using Windows 10. I recall that when in Windows 7, if I put a thumb
drive into my computer, a box would pop up and say what do you want windows
to do, and JAWS spoke the option. Now under Windows 10, I hear the question,
but never see the box being display. Is there a setting I need to modify?

Also, I am wondering what the command is to disabled the write protect on a
thumb drive, as I have one that is now write protected for some reason.
Thank you.
