make links to windows 8 start and apps?

Post by balric »

As the title states is there a way to link launcher icons up to the apps page or the start page on windows 8?

tried this for search but nothing happens.

[search]
Meter=IMAGE
x=770
y=10
ImageName=search.png
H=100
W=100
AntiAlias=1
MouseOverAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# ImageName "search3.png"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# H 125][!Update]
MouseLeaveAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# ImageName "search.png"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# H 100][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# w 100][!Update]
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group2\search.lnk"]

LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute "C:\windows\explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f8-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}"
