Hi Saqib, on the following web page, there are some guides to both windows 8 and 8.1 and they follow the headings windows 8 and windows 8.1 on this page: http://vip.chowo.co.uk/jaws-guides/They are written specifically for Jaws users, but most of the material is also applicable to users of nvda and window-eyes. In the guide to the start screen, in the additional tasks section, creating shortcuts on the desktop is covered. David. original message: Hi.
