[NFBCS] viewing the contents pane in Autopsy by slooth Kit using NVDA and Windows 10

[Chris Nestrud]

Amelia,

Can you do this using the Command Line Ingest functionality? It looks
like you can add a data source and generate reports without needing to
use the GUI. This might at least get you the information you need even
if it doesn't exactly follow the steps in the assignment.
