Hi AlexanderI don't know the key stroke method but with sighted help if you put the mouse arrow over the entry in Start/Programs and then right click one option in the context menu is Create A Shortcut. Hit that and it will come up in Programs. Put the mouse arrow over it and press the left key, keeping it pressed slide the words off onto the desktop and let go. The words transform into an icon.

Hi all, As a result of a thread on this list, the title of which I can't remember off the top of my head, I Installed the program which was being discussed, Internet Download Manager. I'm finding that the trial version seems to work properly, and I may even purchase the program at the end of the trial, but there is one thing that I can't work out. I can't find an icon for the program on the desktop even though it is listed in programs. I've tried selecting the program in the start menu and pressing shift F10 on it but I can't create a desktop icon that way. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible to create a desktop icon for the program concerned? Thank you in advance for any advice on this.
