Subject: [JAWS-Users] Desktop Shortcuts That Will Open With A Specific
Browser, How To
Hi All,
The following was told to me by Rick Justice, and I just do a sorry job of
typing it up! This is done with Jaws 16 thru J2018 latest and Windows 7.
Note: If you have the file path of the browser already pasted into a text
file, and also the website's URL you're creating the shortcut for also
pasted into the same text file it makes doing the following much easier.
Otherwise you'll have to browse for the browser file path. The example I'm
going to use is with Chrome and the Jaws-Users website.
1. Go to the desktop and make sure that nothing is selected. Either press
F5 when on the desktop or hold down the control key and press the spacebar
to deselect anything that is already selected.
2. Press the, applications / context menu key, / right mouse click, to bring
up the context menu items.
3. Choose new from the menu and then choose create shortcut from the sub
menu.
4. A 2 stage dialogue opens. The default field says type a location. Paste
the Chrome file path right here.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
Take notice of the quotation marks at the beginning and end of the file
path. At the end of the file path put a space with the spacebar to the
right of the ending quotation mark. Now put the website URL you want this
shortcut to open, but you, do not, need to put the, http:// orr www., you
only need to put everything after the, http:// or www., text. See example
below.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" jaws-users.com
5. Tab to the, Next, button and press the spacebar to open. This is where
you put in a name for this shortcut. After typing the desired name tab to,
Finish, & press enter.
Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!
