No, when renaming a shortcut the, .EXE, is not necessary to have in the shortcut's name.

Hi Mike,
I did but it added short cut to the end of the name, so I used shift f10 to rename it and remove it. Does it have to have the .exe in the name?
Karen
Yes, that's it. Now create a desktop shortcut icon from that .EXE file.

It is a program which is included with Jaws and is very similar to Word Pad
but with the spell checker. I have used it for years and love it. Go to Go
to This PC/program files/freedom scientific/jaws/ 2023 (or whatever version
you are using) and find hjpad.exe I then put a shortcut on the desktop.

I know this is not a solution for Notepad, but why not use HJ Pad to take
your notes. You can save in TXT or RTF file format and it has a spell
checker and some very simple format settings. I personally seldom use
Notepad.

When I read frustrating experiences such as yours -- and we've all been
there -- it reminds me of why I like backing up things.
In this case, Jaws' enu file.
Learned that last year from Brian Hartgen's Jaws Muscles course.
He prefers backing that up over Jaws' setting back up which isn't complete
in what it keeps.
