如何在开始屏幕上固定(Start Screen)Windows 8.1 应用程序(Apps)
在开始屏幕(Start screen)上固定 Windows 8.1 应用程序是一项非常简单的任务。首先(First)，您需要找到要固定的应用程序。为此，请按位于屏幕左下角的箭头形按钮。
这样，您将显示计算机上所有可用的应用程序。
找到您要固定的应用程序，然后右键单击或按住它。将打开一个上下文菜单。现在，按Pin 开始(Pin to Start)。
现在您的应用程序将固定在“开始(Start)”屏幕上。
如果应用程序已固定到“开始(Start)”屏幕，则菜单中的可用选项之一将是Unpin from Start。选择此选项将导致您的应用程序从“开始(Start)”屏幕中删除。
如何在开始屏幕上固定(Start Screen)桌面应用程序(Desktop Apps)
同样，您需要在“开始(Start)”屏幕上找到要固定的程序。您可以选择程序的快捷方式，例如，可以在桌面上找到该快捷方式。
或者您可以浏览您的计算机以查找程序的安装位置。然后，选择主可执行文件。
当然，另一种选择是使用File Explorer中的搜索框搜索(search box)您想要的应用程序。
找到桌面(Desktop)应用程序后，右键单击或(click or press)按住它。在上下文菜单中，按Pin to Start。
现在，您可以转到“开始(Start)”屏幕，您将在其中看到您选择的程序显示为固定应用程序。
如何在开始屏幕上(Start Screen)固定文件夹和库(Pin Folders & Libraries)
将文件夹或库固定到“开始(Start)”屏幕类似于固定桌面应用程序(Desktop applications)的方式。只需(Simply)选择要固定的文件夹或库，右键(folder or library)单击或(click or press)按住它，然后选择Pin to Start。
现在，您的库或文件夹将固定在“开始(Start)”屏幕上，就像任何其他应用程序或桌面(Desktop)程序一样。
默认情况下，在 Windows 8.1 中，Libraries部分被禁用。如果您想恢复它但不知道如何查看我们的指南：Windows 8.1 简介：如何在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中取回库。
如何在开始屏幕上(Start Screen)固定网络位置(Pin Network Locations)
固定网络位置(network location)的工作方式与固定文件夹或库的方式相同。您必须遵循几乎相同的步骤。使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)找到所需的网络位置(network location)。网络位置(network location)可以是实际计算机或共享文件夹。现在，右键单击或按住网络位置，然后(network location and press)从上下文菜单中按Pin to Start 。
不过要记住一件事：即使该网络位置(network location)不再可用，您创建的磁贴仍将显示在“开始(Start)”屏幕上。
如何将您喜欢(Your Favorite)的网站固定在开始屏幕上(Start Screen)
Windows 8中一个有趣的选项是可以将站点固定到“开始(Start)”屏幕。但是，此时，这仅在您使用Internet Explorer时才有效。好消息是，无论您喜欢桌面(Desktop)版还是全屏Windows 8.1应用程序版都没有关系。
如果您将其他浏览器设置为默认浏览器，请务必知道Internet Explorer应用程序在“(Internet Explorer)应用程序(Apps)”屏幕中不再可用。如果您想使用此应用程序，您需要将Internet Explorer设置为默认浏览器(default browser)，该应用程序将再次出现。如果您不知道如何操作，请查看我们的指南：将您想要的Internet Explorer 版本设置为(Internet Explorer version)Windows 8.1中的默认值(Windows 8.1)
现在，让我们看看如何使用Internet Explorer的应用程序版本固定网站。首先(First)，浏览您要固定的网站。
现在，按下下方菜单栏中的收藏夹(Favorite)按钮。
将弹出收藏夹菜单。(Favorite)接下来，按Pin 站点(Pin site)按钮。
现在，您可以重命名固定的快捷方式。完成后，按Pin to Start。
这就是您的固定网站在“开始(Start)”屏幕上的外观。
如果您更喜欢使用Internet Explorer的(Internet Explorer)桌面(Desktop)版本，那么事情也很简单。加载完您喜欢的网站后，请查看浏览器的右上角。你会在那里看到一些图标。最后一个是工具(Tools)菜单的快捷方式。按工具(Tools)按钮继续或组合Alt+X。
将打开一个弹出菜单。按将站点添加到应用程序(Add site to Apps)。
现在，按添加(Add)。
接下来，您转到您的应用程序(Apps)并浏览您刚刚添加的网站并将其固定到“开始(Start)”屏幕，如前所示。
当使用Internet Explorer 11(Internet Explorer 11)的桌面版本固定网站时，当您打开刚刚创建的快捷方式时会发生一些变化。右侧的主页(Home)按钮被移除，网站的徽标将放置在左侧。如果您按下它，您将返回网站的主页(home page)。后退(Back)和前进(Forward)按钮也会选择网站的主要颜色。
该网站的徽标也将在任务栏中显示为图标。
注意：(NOTE:)值得一提的是，只要Internet Explorer是您的默认浏览器(default browser)，您使用其触控版本固定的所有网站都将始终在Internet Explorer 应用程序(Internet Explorer app)中打开。但是，如果您使用桌面版固定网站，Windows 8.1会记住这一点，并且您从中固定的网站将始终由桌面版Internet Explorer打开。
如何在开始屏幕上固定(Start Screen)控制面板项目(Control Panel Items)
将控制面板(Control Panel)项目固定到“开始(Start)”屏幕与我们之前展示的非常相似。
打开控制面板(Control Panel)并浏览要固定到“开始(Start)”屏幕的项目。假设您要固定Windows Firewall。转到系统和安全(System and Security)，找到Windows 防火墙(Windows Firewall)并右键单击或(click or press)按住它。

The Complete Guide To Pinning Everything To The Windows 8.1 Start Screen
Have you ever wonderеd what kind of items cаn you pin оn your Start screen? Well, there's a lot of stuff you can pin that you probably didn't know about such as libraries, networks locations, websites, different apps and many others. If you didn't really liked the Start screen or you never saw its usefulness maybe after reading our guide you will. If you haven't figured it out yet, our purpose is to teach you how to pin different items to your Start screen in a short but comprehensive guide. Let's go:
How To Pin Windows 8.1 Apps On The Start Screen
Pinning Windows 8.1 apps on the Start screen is a really simple task. First, you need to locate the app you want to pin. To do this press the arrow-shaped button placed at the lower-left corner of the screen.
This way you will display all the apps available on your computer.
Locate the app you want to pin and right-click or press and hold on it. A contextual menu will open. Now, press Pin to Start.
Now your app will be pinned on the Start screen.
If the app is already pinned to the Start screen, one of the available options in the menu will be Unpin from Start. Choosing this option will cause your app to be removed from the Start screen.
How To Pin Desktop Apps On The Start Screen
Again, you need to locate the program you want to pin on the Start screen. You can do that selecting the shortcut of the program, which can be found on the desktop, for example.
Or you can browse your computer to find the location where the program is installed. Then, select the main executable file.
Of course, another option would be to just search for the application you want, using the search box in File Explorer.
After you've located the Desktop application, right click or press and hold it. In the contextual menu, press Pin to Start.
Now, you can go to the Start screen where you will see the program you chose displayed as a pinned application.
How To Pin Folders & Libraries On The Start Screen
Pinning folders or libraries to the Start screen is similar to the way you pin Desktop applications. Simply select the folder or library you want pinned, right click or press and hold on it and select Pin to Start.
Now, your library or folder will be pinned on the Start screen just like any other app or Desktop program.
By default, in Windows 8.1 the Libraries section is disabled. If you want to bring it back and your don't know how check our guide: Introducing Windows 8.1: How to get back the libraries in File Explorer.
How To Pin Network Locations On The Start Screen
Pinning a network location works the same way as pinning folders or libraries. You have to follow almost the same steps. Locate the network location you want, by using File Explorer. The network location can be an actual computer or a shared folder. Now, right-click or press and hold on the network location and press Pin to Start from the contextual menu.
One thing to remember though: even if that network location is no longer available, the tile you've created will still be displayed on the Start screen.
How To Pin Your Favorite Websites On The Start Screen
An interesting option in Windows 8 is the possibility to pin sites to the Start screen. However, at this moment, this works only if you use Internet Explorer. The nice thing is that it doesn't matter if you prefer the Desktop version or the full-screen Windows 8.1 app version.
It's important for you to know that the Internet Explorer app isn't available anymore in the Apps screen, if you set another browser as default. If you want to use this app, you need to set Internet Explorer as default browser and the app will appear again. If you don't know how to do that check our guide: Set the Internet Explorer version you want as the default in Windows 8.1
Now, let's see how to pin a website using the app version of Internet Explorer. First, browse the website you want to pin.
Now, press the Favorite button from the lower menu bar.
The Favorite menu will pop up. Next, press the Pin site button.
Now, you can rename the pinned shortcut. When you're done, press Pin to Start.
This is how your pinned website will look like on the Start screen.
If you prefer to use the Desktop version of Internet Explorer, things are again quite simple. After you finish loading your favorite site, look at the top right of the browser. You will see a few icons there. The last one is the shortcut to the Tools menu. Press the Tools button to continue or the key combination Alt+X.
A pop-up menu will open. Press Add site to Apps.
Now, press Add.
Next, you go to your Apps and browse the website you just added and pin it to the Start screen as shown earlier.
When a website is pinned using the desktop version of Internet Explorer 11 some changes will occur when you open the shortcut you have just created. The Home button from the right is removed and the logo of the website will be placed on the left. If you press it, you will return to the home page of the website. Also the Back and Forward button will pick up the predominant color of the website.
The logo of the website will also appear as an icon in the taskbar.
NOTE: It's worth mentioning that, as long as Internet Explorer is your default browser, all the websites you have pinned using its touch version will always open in the Internet Explorer app. However, if you used the desktop version to pin websites, Windows 8.1 will remember that and the websites you've pinned from it will always be opened by the desktop version of Internet Explorer.
How To Pin Control Panel Items On The Start Screen
Pinning Control Panel items to your Start screen is pretty similar to what we showed earlier.
Open Control Panel and browse the items you want to pin to the Start screen. Let's assume you want to pin Windows Firewall. Go to System and Security, locate Windows Firewall and right click or press and hold on it.
Now, press Pin to Start and you're done.
This is what Windows Firewall looks like pinned on your Start screen.
