Hi,
Im using a program to create custom tiles for the metro screen, for this to work you must link the tile to the appropriate program file, for instance the Google Chrome tile links to comething like C://ProgramFiles/chrome.exe (just a guess cant remember).
The problem is I have no idea where (or if) the files are for the premade apps like Music, SkyDrive, Store, etc. If I cant make them live tiles thats ok but it would be nice to have almost the same functionality when clicked.

Thanks for any help.

those should already be live-tile-able. when you search for them in the start screen, right click and hit the appropriate icon on the bottom of the screen.
