Dragging from "Start" menu to desktop
from
Stardock Forums
It's possible I'm doing something wrong, however I think maybe the feature is just missing.
Any chance you could add-in the ability to drag icons from the start-bar to the desktop? Under Win7 for example I'd do a right-click drag to the desktop and then from the context menu select "create shortcut here" option and low and behold - one shortcut.
Would be really handy to have that feature back under 8.
