How Can I Pin a Website to the Metro Start Screen?
In Windows 8, while working with Internet Explorer, when users visit several sites and if they find some of them useful, they generally bookmark them in order to make it easier to reopen the sites quickly whenever needed.
Bookmarking the sites was considered one of the easiest methods to access the most favorite and frequently visited sites within no time. However this way of opening the sites required Internet Explorer program to be initiated before users can open their bookmarked sites.
The new Metro UI in Windows 8 allows users to pin the most frequently visited websites right to the Start screen. The benefit of doing so is that users are neither required to go to the desktop screen, nor they need to initiate Internet Explorer before they can visit their favorite sites. Users can instead directly click the pinned icon of the site right from the Start screen, hence saving time.
