Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not; but you can try www.pokki.com; you download the main app launcher then just select all the apps that you want to put into the launcher from the Pokki website (thousands available). It is pretty neat launcher - BUT - I have to offer a word of...

Don't think those instructions apply to an individual file (except .exe files) - I'm looking to open an Excel file directly from my Apps Menu. I didn't want to open MS Excel first and then navigate to the file that I want to open. Patric

Greetings from Colorado; There are a couple of Microsoft Excel files that I use quite frequently. Is there a way to Pin these individual files to my Apps Menu? I did a right click on the file name and the only thing close that I saw was to Add to Start Menu. Tried it and it didn't do...

That worked out great. Would be nice if there was a printing option after the screen shot but I was able to save it to my pictures folder then go there and print from there. Also I had to take two screen shots because I wasn't able to scroll over to get the complete shot, but I think that is...

Greetings from Colorado; I'm a newbie here but have looked around the forums a bit. I have been using the program Screen Hunter for screen shots before but have just gotten a new 8.1 desktop and when I run S.H., from the Metro Tile, it jumps me to the Windows 7 style desktop and doesn't seem...

Just a suggestion; try using Advanced Systemcare (free) from www.iobit.com. I've been using it for over 10 years (I've bought the paid version but the free version is very good too) and it's worked very well for me. It has a one-button "fix-all" as well as another tab that you can pick and...
