Hi Vicki,
Try the following Windows XP method. It woks with Jaws, Window-Eyes, Narrator, 
Zoomtext, Magic, anything that has speech.
Locate your icon by tabbing and pressing its first letter as much as needed.
Press the application key, next to the right control key.
Arrow down to the Pin to Start menu item or press i key.
That's all. Now press Windows key or Control Escape, a copy of your icon should 
be sitting right there.
Good luck!
Adam

  The copy or cut and paste doesn't work at all for moving things from the 
  desktop to the start menu, at least it doesn't for me. Any other ideas?

  Try  using the shift f10 instead and using cut and paste from the menu . =
  I
  find using the mouse actions from  jaws to never work  well=20
  The steppes are=20
  Find the item you want to move=20
  Press shift f10=20
     choose cut or copy c for copy and t for cut=20
  Go to the new location and press shift f10 and choose paste p=20

  I'm having trouble dragging and dropping an icon from my desktop to my =
  start

  menu. I've done this before, but for some reason it's not working. It =
  does=20
  one of two things:

  1. I will make sure the JAWS curser is on the icon, do an insert control =

  left mouse, and after turning the PC curser back on, go to the start =
  menu=20
  and do a control insert left mouse. It will tell me the object is not =
  found=20
  and the drag and drop is canceled.

  2. I follow the steps above, and it will place the icon in a folder on =
  my=20
  desktop instead of on the start menu.

  Any ideas what the problem could be or am I missing a step? I'm using =
  JAWS=20
  5.1 on this computer with XP Home.

  Thanks.

  Vicki
