How do I add a shortcut to a website to the Windows 8 start screen?


How can I add a shortcut to a specific website to the Windows 8 Start screen? Is this possible at all?



Answer



Only in the Metro version of IE 10 can you 'Pin to Start'.


In IE, Programs Tab, check there is NO tick next to Open Internet Explorer tiles on the desktop. That was just to ensure that the Metro version of IE 10 is active.


Once IE 10 launches, navigate to the site you are interested in. Right-click (or swipe from the top or bottom edge) and find the "push pin" icon.


Click on the pin icon, then 'Pin to Start' in the menu. Adjust the title if required and press "Pin to Start". Return to the start screen and search the right of the Metro UI for your shortcut tile.
