Ok, buckle up! To place IE on your desktop do the following. Press the start/windows key, type in internet and when you hear internet explorer, pull up the applications key and arrow to go to open file location and press enter. Once there pull up the application key again and arrow down to send to, or press the letter N to take you right there, once in the send menu arrow down to add shortcut to desktop and press enter. As far as needing to use the FN key, on a Dell you should be able to press your FN key with the escape key to toggle on and off your F key settings. This means that you should be able to use your F keys by their selves once you toggle the FN/escape key combination. HTH Nate Kile Assistive Technology Instructor Alaska Center for the Blind

Hi Everyone, I'm wondering how I can get internet explorer to show up on my desktop? I have a Dell laptop which is pretty new and has an fn key, can you give me some ideas on how to use this? for instance, if I'm using jaws, I can't just use insert f4 to close out the program, I have to use insert j and then up arrow to exit and do it that way. is there a way to not have to use the fn key sometimes, and sometimes us it for certain things? Oh, I'm using win 10 and jaws 18 of course. Bill K.
