Users who are using Windows 8 must be knowing that one can’t place shortcut of Metro-style apps on desktop and can’t pin apps to the taskbar also. Users who are looking for a way to place Metro-apps on desktop or pin apps to the taskbar can now download a cool utility named MetroApp Link.
MetroApp Link is a very handy tool for computer users running Windows 8 operating system. The tool lets you create shortcuts of Metros-style apps on the desktop and lets you pin apps to the taskbar as well. For instance, you can create a shortcut for the Windows Store app and then pin the same to the taskbar also.
The current version (2.0)of MetroApp Link lets you place shortcuts of Music, People, Weather, News, Video, Reader, Games, Maps, Messaging, Sport, Store, Travel, Mail, Photo and Finance apps on the desktop.
Once you have the shortcuts on the desktop, right-click on a shortcut and then select Pin to Taskbar option to pin the app shortcut to the taskbar. Alternatively, you can also pin a shortcut to the taskbar by just dragging the shortcut onto the taskbar. You can move an app shortcut from desktop to any other folder.
MetroApp Link works great on both x86 and x64 Windows 8 systems. Note that the current version doesn’t allow you create shortcuts for third-party apps. Visit the developer’s page to download the app. It’s a portable tool and doesn’t require an installation.
