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!

  • True, but its a specific question that is a "noted" twist on another question; I still believe its relevant an helpful being that I actually had this issue after I installed Win8.

  1. Right-click on your desktop and select "New" > "Shortcut", to create a new shortcut.

  2. 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.

  3. Right-click on the shortcut you had just created.

  4. Click on "Pin to Start".

Thats all, now you have a tile that opens Internet Explorer with a personalized page.
