How to Download an "All Apps" Shortcut in Windows 8 and 8.1

This tutorial will show how to download an "All Apps" shortcut that opens directly to the Apps screen in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
EXAMPLE: "Apps" Screen in Windows 8
Here's How:
1. Use step 2 or 3 below for the Windows 8 you have installed.
2. If you have Windows 8 or Windows RT
A) Click/tap on the Download button below to download the .zip file below, and go to step 4 below.
All-Apps_Shortcut.zip
3. If you have Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1
A) Click/tap on the Download button below to download the .zip file below, and go to step 4 below.
Apps_8.1_Shortcut.zip
4. Save the .zip file to your desktop.
5. Open the .zip file, and extract (drag and drop) the .exe file to your desktop.
NOTE: This is a standalone .exe file that has a digital certificate and does not install or add anything to your computer.
6. You can now move the .exe file to where you like to use it at, then Pin to Taskbar on desktop, Pin to Start screen, add to Quick Launch, or create a shortcut from the .exe file.

If you create a shortcut from the downloaded .exe file, then you could also assign a keyboard shortcut to the created shortcut.
That's it,
