Pin Any Files And Folders to Windows 8 Start Screen

Just like in Windows taskbar, not all files are welcome to the Windows 8 Start Screen. You can pin any folders and libraries but not any files. EXE files are cool, other files are not. The only way to force Windows 8 into accepting all files as tiles on the Start Screen is to use a hack offered by Winaero’s Start Screen Pinner.


This simple tool allows you to pin practically anything to Windows 8 Start Screen. With Start Screen Pinner you will able:

• to pin ANY file regardless of its type

• to pin any folders or files with drag and drop. Drop them on application window

After you’ve pinned a file or program, you can use OblyTile to customize the appearance of the tiles.
