As per the description, I understand that you would like to know how to pin short cut to start menu.

I would suggest you to refer to the article given below if you are using Windows 7.

And if you are using Windows 10 then I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below.

Pin apps to Start

Pin the apps you use most often to the Start menu. Here's how:

• Go to Start > All Apps.
• Press and hold (or right-click) an app.
• Select Pin to Start.

What can you pin to start menu?


So what exactly can be pinned to start menu in Win10?

• Applications, obviously,
• Folders,
• Settings from modern Settings App,
• Settings from Control Panel,
• Websites, through Edge menu,
• Websites, by creating "application view" in IE11,
• OneNote notes and notebooks through modern app

Anything else? I'm thinking files, shortcuts, emails, contacts etc.

I've seen there were hacks to pin files in Win8.1, didn't try them yet. Is there any way to pin files without hacks? When I drag a file over start icon I get a "pin to start menu" tooltip, but can't actually do that.

 

Where do you find the list of items pinned to the start menu?

A reasonable 'guess' following a couple of simple experiments suggests the registry:



- note the name there.

- unless the data is held where access is restricted e.g. the WindowsApps folder.
