Windows 10: tile open file location

Hello. Used to be able to "open file location" to rename a tile.
Anyone know where they moved "tile" texts or tile shortcuts to?
This is about build 17107

not in the usual place?
not showing "open file location" ?

I have windows 10... better identified start window icon

Right click a start menu tile/item and click "More" - "Open file location". You can then rename the shortcut in that location and after a restart the tile should be renamed . . .

Try right-clicking a different tile (or a few different tiles) until one gives you the option to open the file location.
All the start tile shortcuts are kept in the same folder, so once you get that folder open you should be able to spot the shortcut for the tile that you want to edit somewhere in that list, and then rename it. If that's not working for you, just navigate
(in file explorer) to:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

and find your shortcut in there, that should be the file location you're looking for.

 

If that tile was created with Edge, there won't be a shortcut to it.

 

Thanks Edwin. Yes, with Edge.
I can make tile shortcuts with edgeTile but ok, well, I can live with that limitation.

Without renaming, tiles made with "Edge" are cryptic
as "whatever ….." until one runs a pointer on top to get a tooltip

 

Yeah, they should at least provide a prompt for you to custom name the tile something short!

 

The tiles made by Edge use the title of the web page, it's the same text as you see in Edge on the page's tab.

Edge, in common with all the Windows Apps, doesn't have a 'file location' in its More> menu on Start. You won't see one for Calculator either, for example.
