Hi Steve, Jim and BobThanks. In this age of great software, I'm surprised that there's not a way of booting up and being directly in an open file ready to go. I seem to remember years ago I had a laptop that I would boot up and eventually it would be in the same file as when I last closed it down.

Hi Andrew, Instead of messing around with loading files etc or creating shortcuts to files, why not simply make sure that MS Word is pinned to the top of your start menu. Then, all you need to do is press your windows start button and then down arrow once to ms word and press enter. Presto! A blank word document. Then you are free to save it with whatever name you want.

Andrew, Why not create a shortcut from the file onto your desktop, then it's a case of one letter when you boot up to the file or nearly, depending on what shortcut names you have on your desktop. Find the file you want to open and bring up the application key, go to send to and cursor right, in their is a shortcut to the desktop. hth Jim -----Original Message----- From: AKH Sent: Friday, September 19, 2014 1:00 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Fastest way to open a file? Hi Everyone In the spirit of "access" I'm wondering how to get the fastest route from turning on my laptop to getting in to a file for making notes. Windows 8 with NVDA For example, can I get a MS Word or text file to automatically open as soon as Windows is loaded?
