You can tweak the tiles as you like for a better view of the websites on the start. You can any time remove the pinned website from the start menu by right-clicking it and selecting the option “Unpin from Start.”
Pin Website Links Using Other Web Browsers
The things are a little different in other browsers. As they didn’t have such a built in feature to directly add the website links to the start menu. You should do it manually. To do this,
- Open the browser. (Like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari.)
- Open the website that you want to add to the start menu.
- After the website completely loaded, click on the “View Site Information” icon and drag and drop it onto the desktop.
- If the website is secured with SSL, you will see a Lock icon instead of a Page icon.
- Now, the shortcut of the website will be created on your desktop.
- Now, open the Run command by pressing Win+R keys together.
- Enter the following command in the Run dialog box and press Enter.
shell:programs
- This will open the “Programs” folder of the Start Menu in Windows 10.
- Now, copy the website shortcut on the desktop to this folder and close the window.
- Open the Start Menu and click on “All apps” option.
- Scroll down and find your website link.
- Once you’ve found that, right-click on it and then select the option “Pin to Start.”
- Now, the website will be pinned to the Start successfully.
