Yes, you are right. Jaws just started this recently and I have looked all over and I can't find how to turn this off. I have another computer and it is not doing it. It has to be some simple setting so maybe I'll find it.

If so, highlight the, Internet shortcut, press the F2 key for editing, so you can edit this icon to have Jaws read it exactly the way you want. I hope I'm understanding your question correctly.

Is there anyway I can get jaws to announce only the icon but not say internet shortcut? Hopefully, I have made myself clear.
