Aura: Your reply referenced a procedure called Tile A File that sounds perfect for what I want to do. But, sad to say, I am trouble using it (simple as it appears to be).

I downloaded Tile A File from the Store. The first screen says tap to load the file; but nothing happens when I do so! Can you please describe how I am supposed to use this app? --- batpark

I don't think you read the good article !
Here's what I did, exactly like in the link I provided :

• Create a shortcut of the file that you want to pin on the Start Menu (Right-click on it and select "Create Shortcut");
• Copy that shortcut (Ctrl + C) and go in the following folder : C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Program and paste it there (Ctrl + V). UAC (Admin Rights) will be asked, accept them;
• Then go on your Start Menu, type in the name of your document so the shortcut shows up in the search bar, and you'll be able to right-click it and select "Pin to Start Menu";

It will work No need for any third-party applications;
