Am I right in saying that the different files that you have saved in this
file on your desktop are in different folders on your C: drive? or not. It
looks to me as if the computer does not know where to look for the files in
the folder. Since a desktop shortcut must be targeted to a specific folder
on your computer to work properly. Then trying to open the file is not going
to work except by the Control + O command, but by pressing Control + O, you
tell the computer exactly where to look for the file, hence it opens. So, if
you want all of the files saved to this folder to open by simply clicking on
them, move them all to the same folder, and make the shortcut point to this
folder. Right click on the desktop shortcut, then select Properties. You
should open on the Shortcut Tab, and the first item should be "Target". Make
sure that the string typed in this field is the location of the folder where
your files are saved. Then tab down the list and click on Apply and then on
OK.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] can not open an excel 2013 file
I've created a shortcut folder on my desktop called office. Included in
this folder is a folder called MS 2013 where I can open xlsx and word
documents. Some documents open and then some will not. When a
spreadsheet or document doesn't open I get the following error message
with the ugly windows sound. I've tried changing the name of the
spreadshee but the error message comes back. Now, if I open a blank
excel work book and then use ctrl o to open this same spreadsheet it
opens just fine.
