Accessing Favourites in Microsoft Edge.
Submitted bybrianhartgenon Mon, 01/27/2020 - 08:05
We've recently discovered what we consider to be quite a flaw in the use
of Microsoft Edge.
When storing a site as a Favourite, you can no longer access it from the
Favourites folder within File Explorer. A lot of people like to do this
for several reasons. It is much easier to navigate the list, the
Favourites can be searched, renamed, deleted, and you can just pull one
of them out and put it on the Desktop if you use it very frequently. If
you know how to use File Explorer, you can manage your Favourites.
If you have our Leasey or J-Say products, of course you have good
solutions already in the form of LeaseyCuts and J-Say Shortcuts. They
are working with Edge.
However, if you have purchased our new training course on the use of
Microsoft Edge, you will also get some JAWS scripts which bring back
this very useful utility of creating Favourites to web pages. Not only
will they allow you to create the Favourites, but you can choose which
folder they are saved into. We're thinking ahead here because if
Microsoft decided to remove the default Favourites folder at any time,
you can still use this feature. We've also given you a keystroke to
quickly access your Favourites folder.
We can confidently advertise this feature because we have it working!
Enjoy it when it comes along!
