[skype English] Updating the situation of my friend
|
Yes, it is shift f10. I use that by default. It is the extended applications key.

The scripts are now working perfectly, so apparently Doug had right in saying that restarting JAWS was sufficient. I also changed the Skype command key because in Italian we need the default key for a character, which we use for the verb corresponding to "is". The problem is that I was not able to follow the directions that Sarah gave me about adding the desktop icon, since on the context menu there's no "create shortcut" item. Two possible doubts that came to my mind. One is, I used applications instead of shift+f10; does it make any difference? Secondly, she apparently did not install programs like OpenShell, do you think it's necessary? I installed that utility on my machine, and effectively I could find "Create shortcut" option on another app. Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10 |

Hi guys, well I didn't imagine that applications key and shift+f10 could make any difference, I'll try this out but I sincerely doubt because I am no longer able to find it in my machine as well. I am afraid that's a matter of Windows 10 build.

Ok, try this.
follow the prompts afterwords. If you don't find skype in the start menu, hit shift f10 and click create shortcut, then say yes to the prompt, it will create the desktop shortcut for you. Works for me every single time I have to do this. On 5 Feb 2021, at 6:04, Michele Barbi wrote:

That would be a good alternative, if only I knew the current location for Skype for Windows 10...
I personally use Skype for Windows desktop, so I don't have this problem since the desktop icon is already there. We could also uninstall this Skype and install the Windows desktop one, but we recently need to change Skype account so we're afraid it can lose the login data. Bye!

assuming skype is downloaded and in the list of programmes under the windows key, here is one way of adding a shortcut to the desktop. 1. press windows key and arrow down once to come out of the search box. first letter navigation doesn't work so arrow down to skype folder collapsed and hit spacebar. 2. arrow once to skype and open context menu with shift f10. 3. arrow down to more and then to file location and open this. 4 wait a second and jaws will say skype checked, then open the context menu again and press s. 5. jaws will say: windows can't create a shortcut here. do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead? steve On 06/02/2021, Michele Barbi <barbi.michele@...> wrote:
