Re: Web site shortcuts on desktop.

Hi, David,
The steps I tried are as follows:
When on the site for which I want to create the shortcut, I went into Chrome settings, More Tools, Create Shortcut. I hit enter and hit enter again, so that the shortcut would appear on my desktop.
I’ve only been on Google Chrome, maybe about a year, but I started having issues with Chrome crashing, which was happening with more frequency, so I reset the settings.
It has been since I reset the settings that I have had this problem.
I also would like to ask you which checkbox is checked in your Startup settings, just to make sure I have things correct.
Since my original installation of Chrome, Jaws has updated, Chrome has updated, and Windows has updated, so I am wondering if any of these updates are affecting this ability to create proper shortcuts that don’t always default to Google Chrome.
In addition, I also found some information on a forum where this can be an issue, so I am not the only one facing this.
I have also created a case with Google, and haven’t heard back yet.
Thanks again.

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.

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.
