Armani,
You might try the following:
- On the Desktop, Open a File Explorer window -- this used to be called the Windows Explorer window in pre-Windows 8 systems.
- Navigate to this folder: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer
Assuming that Internet Explorer is installed on your computer,
- Look for "explore.exe" > Right-Click and select to "Pin to Start"
==========================================================================================
This is a method of using the "file location" of the program to create a "shortcut" for the Start Screen for the selected program. You can use this method to create other "Start Screen" short cuts for many of your favorite programs.
How to find a program: Search for the program > Right-Click > Open Location
If the results show you another ShortCut, Repeat: Right-Click > Open location
Once you find the location of the some-program-name.exe (executable file), you can Right-Click and "Pin to Start" and / or you can "Send" the program to your desktop to create a shortcut there.
===========================================================================================
Hope this helps!
