Hi Eleanor, a little tip, and something I've found very useful. This is for when you've got no speech on your pc and want to start NVDA. The same can apply to anything else on your desktop that starts with a letter common to several items. If you highlight the shortcut on the desktop, press f2 and put before the name a letter that nothing else on your desktop starts with. I use x, as there aren't any other programmes starting with x on my desktop. Having done that you'll have no problem going straight to it. John. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor Burke To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 1:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] NVDIA How do I start this from the desktop?
