Shortcuts in Start8

When right clicking on the start menu you cannot create a desktop shortcut in the desktop app in Windows 8

Whynot?

Where are you clicking and what version are you using?

In 1.03 you should be able to right click any of the items on the places list and pick show on desktop.

You can also drag things from the menu to the desktop using the right mouse button and that will create a shortcut.

strange, I have the same problem. I cant drag and drop using right-click and I cant see the option for the "show on desktop".

I am using 1.03 and the only EXE in the install directory that show anything close to 1.0.3 is the Start8Config.exe file which is 1.0.3.2.

All the other EXE files are 1.0.1.0 and 1.0.0.0. Some of the DLL files are 1.0.0.2 and 1.0.3.3. I think I have the latest version.

Thanks

Also, I am unable to "unpin" some programs like Windows 8 Manager by Yamicsoft. Some icons I have pinned like outlook 2013 are not displaying in the APPS on the left, but it did in the start screen.

Thanks
