Desktop shortcut to display Alphabetic menu for All Apps


I have seen several threads where people want to remove this feature but in my case it is actually easier to use than scrolling down through 10 to 20 pages of programs listed by letter to get to "X" for "Xcopy+" for example. Is there a way to make a desktop shortcut one-click to access the All-Apps alphabetic 'list-by-letter' menu? If I could, i would make that my default Display option when clicking All Apps in the Start Menu.

 

Desktop shortcut to display Alphabetic menu for All Apps

You are probably right but whatever is activated when you click any letter under the All Apps list must do some specific function to bring up a display of only the alphabet. That alphabetic display, even if it was smaller in size would save a lot of time and would fit neatly in the same location as "most used" on the left or on the right side with the rest of the tiles.

Along the same lines, I have often wondered why Microsoft did not allow keyboard entry to select the letter. Such as typing the letter 'M' allowing you to skip ahead to the M options. As far as I can tell there is no keyboard interface function at all. No matter what you "type" it does nothing. Maybe this is something that can be done in AHK or similar?

Also : hTconeM9user> It is easier to click any letter o bring up the alphabetic display. It does not take clicking only the 0-9. No matter what letter you click, you still get the full alphabet (at least I do on my system)

>>DavidHK you are Fast to reply! I had hoped this would be something already done. Since it appears to be an "open issue" I will post back the method (if there is one) as soon as I or others can get it to work.

>> Also: My apologies 'hTconeM9user'. Not sure if I was clear on what I meant. But if i click any letter in the scroll down list whether 0-9 or A through Z they all do the same thing. My comment was only to note that whatever brings up the alphabet, it is done no matter which letter I click. Also no other actions such as right click etc do anything at all. I thought this might provide some insight into where to look for that elusive registry key that controls the pop-up alphabetic display.
