I don't know if you got an answer or not so here one is: " 1. press windows key and type the following in the search field: SndVol 2. wait until you hear your screen reader read the first item wich is SndVol and hit the application key. 3. find the send to submenu with up/down arrows and open it with right arrow. 4. Up arrow a few times until you hear desktop create a short cut or something similar and hit enter. I am not sure what it is called in english as i am using a french version of windows. 5. now go to your desktop and locate the shortCut you've just created and press alt lus enter. When properties dialog open, keep tabbing until you land on an edit field that asks you to choose a hotkey. Press the combinition of keys that you want and hit enter.
Now, whenever your volume is muted somehow, You just press the hotkey and wait for a short while, then you hit the home key once and everything will be back in order. I hope this will work for you " HTH, inthane -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of john melia Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 7:18 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] putting a volume control on the desk top I have a windows 7 machine and it does not have adjustments to volume control except in the system tray I was wondering how to put the icon on the desktop. I looked around but could not find how to do it. I could do it on a xp machine but can't find the place to send it to the desk top. I like this laptop very much but I wish it had a volume control button on it.
