Try this:
1. Windows key to get to the search box
2. up arrow to all programs, submenu.
3. right arrow to open it.
4. arrow down to JAWS (closed).
5. Right arrow to open it.
6. Arrow down to tools.
7. right arrow to open it.
8. arrow down to 'start JAWS with eloquence.
9. Press the right mouse click button or shift-f10, and hope for a
send-to submenu.
10. arrow to 'send to desktop, create short cut" and whack enter.
Good luck!

Hi Gary,
I have tried the "function key" with F10, however; the contex menu has the
following choices:
Unpin from start, unpin from taskbar, uninstall, open new window, run as
administrator, open file location, and resize-submenu.
I tried going to the file location, but didn't find anything there.
I had the people from Staples where I purchased the computer, to install
everything and, was surprised too that jaws was not on the desktop.
I really appreciate this group of wonderful people who are so supportive.

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.
