Barbara,
I don't have Windows 8.1, so I don't know if it works the same as in version 7. Once you have located JAWS on the Start Menu, try Shift F10 to bring up the same menu that you would get with an Applications Key. See if there is a Send To choice on this menu. Desktop may be one of the choices.

Note that Shift F10 and the Applications key don't always result in the same menu choices, but hopefully the Send To choice will be there.

Subject: difficulty getting jaws icon on desktop and assigning shortcut key


Hi everyone,



Apologies for the font size. I had enlarged it to send a message to a
friend, and now, can't seem to get the right font back.



I am using jaws 16, latest update and windows 8.1 . I have a Dell laptop
computer, but it has the desktop keyboard. It does not have the "application
key", which I did not realize when I purchased it. It has the "function
key." Jaws is on the "start menu" and I cannot figure out how to get it on
the desktop", where I have always had it. I could always assign the shortcut
key by focusing on the jaws icon and doing the alt/enter for getting to
properties. Now I can't seem to get to the jaws properties.

Any suggestions for this situation will be greatly appreciated.



Thanks so much.



Barbara Hansen
