moderated getting Jaws on the desktop
|
Madison Martin
Hi all,
I went to my desktop and the Jaws shortcut doesn't seem to be on there. I went into the search box and found Jaws, but when I pressed shift f10 to create a shortcut I got 5 options: Run as administrator Open file location Unpin from taskbar Pin to start Uninstall Can someone please tell me, what other way (s) can I create a shortcut for Jaws on my desktop? Even though you've all provided me with other ways to start Jaws, I'd still like to check and see if my shortcut key is still set or not. Thanks Madison

Click on "Open File Location" and create the shorctut from there.

Madison,
You're already half way there. As Arkadiusz has said you can Open File Location then select JAWS and do a Send to Desktop from the context menu.

Stupid me. He can even copy the shortcut right from there and the effect
will be the same. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey there, Madison, BZ here again, grin! There's another way to do this in
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
windows ten. 1. Hit windows key plus r which will bring up the run dialog. 2. Type shell:appsfolder and then press enter. This will bring up a list of all your applications. Down arrow until you hear jaws and then hit your applications key and go down until you hear create shortcut and then press enter. You'll get a message that will say something like do you want windows to create a shortcut anyway and then press enter. I'm doing the message off the top of my head so that's not the verbatim message you'll hear but this method will create the jaws item on your desktop. If you're not comfortable doing this and you need assistance, just let me know and I'll be happy to help you. BZ!

If it isn't on the desktop, the shortcut key likely won't work. To create the shortcut do the following.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
hit windows+r and type shell:appsfolder and press enter Now, find your version of jaws, hit the applications key and choose create shortcut. windows will complain and ask if you would like to put the shortcut on the desktop instead. Do that and you're done. You can right click on your new shortcut and choose properties, in there you will find where to put the shortcut key. When you're in the edit box, hit the key combination you want and then tab to okay. Hope this helps. CH

How do I do a right click? I don't use a mouse and the touch pad is turned off.

no, the context key is to left of control key on
right side on most keyboards. If you have a laptop with out the context key you
can use shift F10.
