Lets say you want to put a link to an app somewhere other than the 'pinned' section of your start menu.. Here's how: 1. Create a new menu item 2. click the ... at the end of the link field 3. in the address bar type 'shell:AppsFolder' 4. select the app you want and hit 'Select File' 5. Now in the link field paste this text BEFORE the link that was generated: 'shell:AppsFolder\' 6. Press OK. |

Try putting "shell:AppsFolder" in the Link setting and leave the command empty. |

That opens the apps 'folder' sure but it doesn't open the specific app like calculator |

Oh, I see. You want the app. Then click on the [...] button next to the link, type shell:AppsFolder in the browser, and select the app from there. (I have not tried this myself). |

So the problem is that the shell element you are trying to use does not have a text representation. The start menu settings are stored as text, so non-text items are not possible. The shortcut file stores the link in binary form, and that's why it works. I think that's the only possible solution at the moment. |

Use the full command in the Link or Command field. For example: shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App |
