Hi Dennis, That's because for whatever reason this is how the operating system wants the desktop icons arranged. I don't think you can arrange them differently unless you rename them. Like I said in a message I just sent before this 1, the OS controls how desktop icons are arranged by a large degree. It's something like the system icons appear first, then your shortcut icons depending on what sort order you choose from the context menu. Also, folder shortcut icons might be listed before program icons. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Long To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, January 21, 2018 12:45 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] how to drag and drop desktop icons
Ok let me explain in more detail what I want to do. I want to drag recycle bin where computer is at. It says it's moving them but there both still in the same place. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

You should be using, Control, Jaws key, + Numpad slash. Read the steps a little slower, they do work I've used them many times. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

This is used to drag items from one location and drop them in another. Position the JAWS Cursor on the item you wish to move and press CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH. You can leave the JAWS Cursor active, or you can switch to the PC Cursor. JAWS will keep speaking as you navigate. Once you have positioned the JAWS or PC Cursor in the location to which you would like to move the item, press CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH again, and the item will be moved to the position of the active cursor.

G.W. Cox From: David Bailes Hi, you can drag them to another location using the Jaws cursor: 1. Move to the program's button that you want to move. 2. Press Insert + Numpad Minus to route the Jaws Cursor to the PC cursor, and then press Insert + Numpad Slash to lock the left mouse button, in other words, start holding it down. 3. Press Numpad Plus to switch back to using the PC cursor, and then press either Left Arrow or Right Arrow the number of times which is the number of positions which you want to move the program either to the left or right respectively. This moves the PC cursor to the position where you want the program to end up. 4. Press Insert + Numpad Minus to route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, and press Insert + Numpad Slash to unlock the left mouse button, in other words, stop holding it down. 5. Finally, press Numpad Plus to switch back to the PC cursor.
