Re: Web site shortcuts on desktop.

Good morning;

perhaps you can give the steps you take to create a web desktop shortcut. I just created one in chrome, and had no problem using the shortcut to get to the web page.

Subject: [jaws-users] Web site shortcuts on desktop.

 

Hello, All,

 

I’ve recently updated to Jaws 19, although my issue may not have anything to do with that.

 

I also had problems with Google Chrome crashing, so I restored the settings, as had been suggested in a help forum.

 

Now, however, any of the shortcuts on my desktop to sites just take me to the main Google Chrome page.

 

I have tried deleting and creating new shortcuts, but no changes.  I also tried checking the checkbox on the shortcut creation dialogue that says to open in a window, still no changes.

 

I’ve tried the various On Startup checkboxes, still no changes.

 

Does anyone have ideas for me?  As it is now, I have to type in the total url and can no longer use shortcuts.

 

Judy
