Reply to Include Modern UI Apps in the Config section of Start8 to be placed on right side of start menu in Start8 Stardock Forums

Yes, it is difficult. In the the All Programs section, the Modern UI Applications has no properties (so no path is noted as in other folders within All Programs). Using the program "Search Everywhere", I'm not able to find a folder with the Modern UI App... name. So, I'm not able to get that folder as a shortcut on the right-side of the Start Menu. I've created a few right-side shortcuts and am familiar with how to add a location. I just can't fin

If it's possible for me to create that with existing version, please advise. Thanks -Jack

It would be nice if I had a right-hand side shortc

Switching a Modern App from Windows Start to Desktop, and/or back to Win Start in ModernMix Stardock Forums

Hi: I'm a very happy Start8 user and read a couple of great reviews about ModernMix. Install went OK. I run a Windows 7 style Start8, and I'm not sure of the correct procedure to select a Windows app to start on the Desktop. So I searched "USA" and USA Today (a Windows Start Menu app) came up and loaded in a desktop windows as advertised. Everything seems to work fine. It appears that Modern apps on the Windows Start Page don't start in the de
