1380000 2014-07-24 00:58:00 Hi All How do I find Favorites & put a "My Favorites" icon at the bottom of the screen? Thanks. PJ Poppa John (284)
1380001 2014-07-24 03:49:00 Assuming you are meaning the Favorites for internet sites ( theres a Different Favorites in explorer as well) Pinning to the Start screen is a piece of cake. The Favorites for the internet will be in your user folder.

If its not on the desktop, right click any blank spot / Personalize / top Left - Change desktop Icons - Tick users Files. To pin to the start screen, right click the folder, pin to Start.

If you are wanting it on the Task Bar, theres a bit of mucking about as W8 doesn't have the option by default to pin a folder, only a exe.

Just found & tried www.intowindows.com Method 1 has a link for a program called pin to 8 winaero.com

The download is a gray button a little down the page just above the Donate Button. Download it unzip it, run it. It Doesn't install so its stand alone. Select Folder option - navigate to the Favorites Folder in your User Name, select it, and it will pin to the taskbar, as shown Below :)

Once you learn how to add your favorite folders there - navigation becomes much faster.
