For anyone running Windows 10 and wanting a hot key instead of the desktop shortcut it's a little different.

Do as Manny said and open the context menu while on the item in the start menu. Arrow up once to Open file location. This will land you on the shortcut file in the start menu folder. Then open the context menu and R for properties.

Hth,
Tom

Hi,
I removed the desktop shortcut and from the start menu, I press context
key on the program and press r for property
tab to shortcut and created a hot key,
then press ok,
  and now I don't have to alt tab   to get to the password entry.

Good Luck, Manny please help me reach a million clicks by forwarding my

Scot and Tom,

The behaviour described by Scot below has also been happening to me and
started at around the same time.

I am using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with all updates.
Currently with WE 9.2.1

I did not report it as there were other issues going on which struck
me as
more important.

Regards, John

I've never seen this or heard of anyone else seeing it. They'd all be
screaming if this were a common problem. Unfortunately I can't imagine
why launching a program from the desktop doesn't bring it into focus.

Hello everyone.
Hope all is well.

Here is my problem, and it has been going on for a while now,
deffinately since the 9.0 days until today 9.2.
Whenever I open a program, it doesn't matter which one from the
desktop,
I need to alt tab to get to the program I just opened.
Is this fixable with window eyes.
I do not have this problem in any other screen reader.
I'm using windows ten.
But I believe this also was an issue with 8.1
Thank you.

Scott
