Feature request: ability to pin control panel items to Start8, etc.

from Stardock Forums

First of all, great to see the ability to have the Control Panel as a cascading menu in Start8. One thing I'm missing though, is the ability to pin a Control Panel item directly to the "front page" of Start8 by way of the item's context menu (which currently only allows pinning to Windows's Start Screen).

 

Separately, I'm seeing the problem with µTorrent not being displayed nor being searchable in Start8, as reported elsewhere. I'm guessing that the greek character at the start of its name (µ), is somehow not currently supported?

 

Finally, it would be great to have dividers in Start8's left column (in my case to delineate maintenance items from update items).

 

Thank you for a wonderful utility!

I agree completely. Start* needs ablity in adding and moving control panel items. Can this be done asap Stardock?

 

Thanks!!

Hi,

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you are saying, you can already do what you have asked

for. Right click on the item you want from control panel. I tried 'Programs & Features' and create

a desktop shortcut, then right click on that and pin it to Start8. I know that's long winded, but it does work!
