Windows 10: Office "New Document" shortcut to Win 10 Start Menu

Hello,

I used to have a "New Document" and "Open Documents" shortcut in my Windows 10 folder. I can't remember where I found the info on how to do that again and I needed to format my hard drive recently.

Is there a way to add the New Document and Open Documents shortcuts that I have on my desktop to the start menu? I tried right clicking them, but you can add to the start menu or pin them to the taskbar.

Any help would be appreciated.

:)

 

Shortcuts in Start menu keep dissapearing? replaced by default ones.

Hello,

occasionally when i start up my PC (recently after cleaning it) I open the start menu to find that all of my shortcuts are gone, & replaced by the terrible default ones from when you first install Windows. So i remove the default ones, refind, and "pin to start" all MY preferred shortcuts, then a few days later, Poof! theyre gone again replaced by the same terrible "news" "groove music" , "calendar" "win store" etc.. anyone have an idea as to why this might be happening?No updates have occurred in the interim of Both occurrences, so it cant be that

Win 10 Pro 1703

thanks

 

How to create shortcut to document on Win 10

There is a particular document file that I use almost daily. I have been unable to create a shortcut to this file on either my Win 10 Start Menu or my Task Bar. I would appreciate suggestions to create quick access to this document file, but not on my
Desktop.

 

How to create shortcut to document on Win 10

Loyall,

Here's how I add document (or program or folder) shortcuts to my start menu:

Open your start menu, and click the all apps icon to open the list. Right-click pretty much any app on that list, click "more", then click "open file location". That will open an explorer window with the path:

OS(C/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/StartMenu/Programs

Leave that window open, and then open a second file explorer window and navigate to the document you want to create the shortcut to. Right click the document and click "create shortcut", place that shortcut on your desktop for the
moment, and close that window. Now just grab, drag, and drop that new shortcut from the desktop into the open explorer window shown in bold above, and look to make sure it got added to the bottom of that list. Close that explorer window, and now that document
will appear on your start menu in the all apps list. To make it a tile, then just grab, drag, and drop it from the all apps list into your start menu tiles field. Now you've got a start menu shortcut tile to that specific document. I've done this with three
Word documents, two Excel documents, and a pictures sub-folder here, so I created a "Files" area on my start menu; notice the lower-right section, see if this is what you're going for:
