I have a friend who runs a program called JAWS that reads the words from his
active window to him. He is having a hard time dealing with windows
explorer. He does not use the mouse at all and relies entirely on memorized
commands. Are there more text based options with Windows XP, especially in
terms of Windows Explorer?

Cinnamon...

I recall the software that someone used.. it enabled you to control all of
windows with voice commands... everything is controllable with the
software..

I did a little search and found it.. it was called windows-eyes.. see here

I think she said it was the best one!

Hope this helps.. tells me if it does...
