If you get lost, you can use NVDA or Windows\u2019 Narrator in a similar way\u2014many steps are the same.\n\n---\n\n## Steps to Create a Shortcut to nvda.exe\n\nThese steps assume your `nvda.exe` file is in a folder you can navigate to via File Explorer.\n\n1. **Open File Explorer**  \n   Press **Windows key + E**. Use arrow keys to navigate to the folder where `nvda.exe` is located.\n\n2. **Locate the nvda.exe file**  \n   Once you\u2019re in the right folder, press **Tab** or **Shift+Tab** to move into the file list. Use the **arrow keys** to find `nvda.exe`.\n\n3. **Open the context menu for the file**  \n   When `nvda.exe` is selected, press **Shift + F10**. This is the same as a right-click. \n\n4. **Choose \u201cCreate shortcut\u201d**  \n   In the menu that appears:  \n   - Press **C** if \u201cCreate shortcut\u201d starts with C (sometimes it does).  \n   - If that doesn\u2019t work, use **Down Arrow** or **Up Arrow** to move through the menu items until you hear \u201cCreate shortcut\u201d. Then press **Enter**.\n\n   Windows will usually tell you: *\"Windows can\u2019t create a shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?\"* If that prompt appears, press **Alt + Y** to say *Yes*. ([ttb.gov](https://www.ttb.gov/public-information/forms/creating-a-shortcut-to-a-program-or-file?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Rename the shortcut (optional)**  \n   - If creating the shortcut put it on the desktop, press **Windows key + D** to go to the desktop.  \n   - Use the arrow keys to find the new shortcut. It might say something like *nvda - Shortcut*.  \n   - Press **F2** to rename it. Type the name you want (e.g. \u201cNVDA\u201d) and press **Enter**.\n\n6. **Set a keyboard shortcut so you can launch it easily** *(optional but very helpful)*  \n   - With the shortcut selected on the desktop, press **Shift + F10** again to open its context menu.  \n   - Choose **Properties**. If not obvious in the menu, move with arrows or press **Alt + Enter**. ([sastltd.zohodesk.eu](https://sastltd.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/articles/create-a-jaws-startup-hotkey?utm_source=openai))  \n   - In the Properties window, navigate to the **Shortcut key** field using TAB.  \n   - Press a letter (for example, `N`). Windows will automatically use **Ctrl + Alt + the letter** as the keyboard combination (so Ctrl+Alt+N).  \n   - Tab to **OK** or **Apply** and press **Enter**. When focused on \u201cOK\u201d, pressing **Space** or **Enter** saves the changes. ([sastltd.zohodesk.eu](https://sastltd.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/articles/create-a-jaws-startup-hotkey?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf anything doesn\u2019t work as expected (because menu layouts can vary slightly by Windows version or system settings), use JAWS to read the menu item names: as you press the arrow keys, JAWS will speak what is focused. That way, you\u2019ll know when you hear \u201cCreate shortcut,\u201d \u201cSend to \u2192 Desktop (create shortcut),\u201d etc.\n\nIf you want me to walk you through this with your specific Windows version or if your folder is hidden, I can give more customized instructions\u2014just let me know!"
