[nfbcs] Access a SharePoint Site With Windows Explorer

[Louis Maher]

Folks,

Accessing documents through the web interface of a SharePoint website is not
efficient for blind users.  You can map a SharePoint site to a disk drive.
Then you can access the documents in a SharePoint site with Windows
Explorer. Here is how.
--
Map a SharePoint Website to a Disk Drive 

To establish a link to a SharePoint site through Windows Explorer, go to the
SharePoint website, hit alt+d for the address field, starting from the end
of the address, delete all  of the address until you get to the website just
above the SharePoint site in question, hit  enter which opens the website
containing a link to your SharePoint page, tab down until you  are on your
SharePoint link, click the right mouse button (which is the context menu),
hit  the copy shortcut option, hit Windows + e to go to Windows Explorer,
hit shift + tab to  bring you to the left side of the screen (in tree view)
and land on computer (which is my  PC in Windows 8), click the right mouse
button, arrow down to Map Network drive, hit enter,  paste the SharePoint
shortcut name into the folder field, hit shift + tab and select a  drive,
tab to "reconnect at startup and check it, tab to finish.  

Now when you want to read or add documents to your SharePoint site, hit
Windows + e for  Windows Explorer, hit shift + tab to go to the tree view,
arrow down to the appropriate  disk drive, and your SharePoint documentation
will appear in a Windows Explorer dialog.  You can open, copy, and delete
files just like any Windows Explorer dialog.
