Start Screen Pinner - the universal pinner software for Windows 8. It can pin anything to the Start Screen in Windows 8.
You may use Start Screen Pinner for the following tasks:
  • to pin ANY file regardless of its type;
  • to pin ANY folder;
  • to pin a drive;
  • to pin Control Panel items, all them including some hidden like God Mode/All Tasks, Network Connections;
  • to pin Libraries;
  • to pin Shell Objects like Run command, "Show Desktop", Window Switcher;
  • to pin any folders or files with drag and drop. Drop them on application window.
Start Screen Pinner extends basic Windows 8 "pin to start" function and also has nice metro UI.

You may ask - why this was not a part of Taskbar Pinner software. It because of too different behavior of Start Screen, which pins items slowly and needs additional processing.

Fantastic work. I just noticed you have renamed your app. Just wanted inform you that the members in the "Developer" group can update topic titles whenever they update their apps.

Just keep in mind that editing a threads title will edit it's URL too, resulting is losing of FB likes, g+1 and tweets. So it should be done less often.
