I've made significant progress to get Windows 8 usable on a PC.
Three of my favourites are
Classic Shell &
Oblytile at [APP] OblyTile - Tile Creator for all programs. - xda-developers - Allows you to customise tiles!!!
Creation of a shutdown shortcut & tile
There is one major thing outstanding for me. I want to start an Windows 8 App from the desktop.
I've figured out that they are stored in c:\ProgramFiles\WindowsApps but a normal shortcut does not seem to work. It states "This application can only be run in the context of an application container"
I can run them from the Classic Shell menu but I am a loss as to how to create a shortcut to run them. I don't mind if the shortcut is to a "launching application", etc. Utopia would be to run them in a window but quite happy to accept them starting full screen in "metro" mode. Any help or guidance would be really appreciated.
