This PowerShell Script sample shows how to create a Windows apps shortcut from the Start Screen to the desktop and how to pin this shortcut to the taskbar.

In Windows 8, only open one Windows Store app can be opened from the Start screen. If you mostly work in the Windows 8 traditional desktop environment, you must find a different way to open Windows Store apps from the desktop.
