Hi again. Many thanks for that suggestion and for outlining how it works. I ran a portable installation and, because it confirmed the folder path, I better understood what you were saying and managed to trace the .exe file for opening the program. I've never opened a program that way before...I've only done it from a Start Menu icon or from the search bar. Anyway, I've got it now, so your help is much appreciated.
Regarding Osara, I was under the impression that I should install the program first, so I haven't grabbed that yet. I have installed the Jaws scripts...Would it still be advisable to install Osara as well?
