How do I add a shortcut to a website to the windows 8 start menu?
I'm not sure if I like the whole idea of Start screen yet, but I would find it more useful with certain web based sites as a tiles in the group.
This question is similar to my other one at: How to pin a website to the Windows 8 Start screen without Internet Explorer as default browser? but this is meant to cover only those using IE as their default!
Solution 1:
- Right-click on your desktop and select "New" > "Shortcut", to create a new shortcut.
-
Create a shortcut to Internet Explorer with the website that you want as an argument:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" www.google.com
Name it as you may want, "Google.com" on my example.
Right-click on the shortcut you had just created.
- Click on "Pin to Start".
Thats all, now you have a tile that opens Internet Explorer with a personalized page.
