The webkit-images files must be present in the "start in" directory.  I
usually just place the JOSM jar file and the shortcut in the directory with
all of the webkit files and then create a shortcut with a target of
"java.exe -Xmx1024M -jar josm-latest.jar"  leave the start in field blank.
As long as all of the files are together in the same directory, it should
work fine.
