1427680 2016-10-20 02:03:00 I have downloaded a game from the Windows 10 App store and an icon is now in the taskbar. I have tried to find where the program is on the C: drive but can't locate it. Anyone know? Bryan (147)
1427681 2016-10-20 03:27:00 Followed this through with Google's help. Only thing is I can't copy the .exe file to desktop as a shortcut. Bryan (147)
1427682 2016-10-20 03:30:00 Belay that too. I found the way by using the R click to create a shortcut to the desktop. Sorry for the unfounded post!!!!!!

Woopsy, can only run in the context of an Apps container file - back to square one.

1427683 2016-10-20 04:09:00 Try this:

Open the run box, (Windows key + R) Paste the following in

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}

Press Enter or Click OK

You'll be presented with a LOT of apps.

Locate your app you want, right click it, create shortcut / Yes - it will place a shortcut on the desktop.

NOTE: the Windows Apps are usually in White with their name (white Icon on White background = Really Easy to see ) :)

1427684 2016-10-20 06:09:00 Thanks for that. I have also discovered from Dr. Google that you can now L click the Windows Icon on the taskbar, items listed to the left can now be dragged and dropped to the Desktop. And yes, it worked for me. Thanks for your solution too. Bryan (147)
