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! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.
