Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon.com/access on desktop
Worked like a charm. Surely beats the regular amazon.com site. Thanks.

Sure, find the amazon.com shortcut you placed on the desktop. Press alt+enter while focused on the shortcut. You should be asked an edit box that says something along the lines of target or perhaps type the location you want this shortcut to point to. Type into this box (replacing the existing incorrect contents), http://amazon.com/access; and press enter. Good luck!

I tried changing the URL in the Amazon desktop properties to: http://www.amazon.com/access But, when using the desktop shortcut after making the change to it, clicking on it, you are still taken to: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8ref_=mw_access I don't know anything about HTML coding but, it doesn't look like a direct desktop shortcut can be made to Amazon's access website. Hopefully someone will figure out a way to do it because I would like to have it as well. What I do is open the Run Dialog type; www.amazon.com/access press enter to take me directly to the site. Sorry I couldn't have provided more positive information. Take care.
