Start10 Shortcut

October 19, 2015 3:15 PM from

I would like to know how to make a shortcut to open Start10 instead of having the start button or the windows key open it. I have made a shortcut to open the windows 10 start menu and pinned it to the taskbar but I would like to be able to have the start menu button open windows start menu and then have a shortcut on the taskbar that would open start10 menu instead. Another words "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Start10\Start10.exe" Metro command starts the windows start menu, what is the command to start start10? Or is that not possible?

start10

You don't need that, you can configure that clicking on start you get the windows 10 original start menu and when you press the windows key you get the start10 menu.

You can create a shortcut to it, and then pin the shortcut to your taskbar.
