How to Pin Access Database to Task Bar or Win8 Start Screen?

[BetaTime]

Okay, we are now getting Windows 8 PCs and laptops. We are trying to do what should be simple: create a shortcut to an Access Database and have that shortcut pinned to the tak bar and be on the Start Screen.This does not work.

 

 

 

1) If we try to just right-click and select the "Pin to Takbar" option, it is not there.

 

2) If we open the database and right-click the access icon on the task bar, it will pin... HOWEVER... when the user actually tries to open the database with the now pinned icon, an error displays saying that the database cannot be found.

 

3) If we create a shortcut, there is no option to pin that either.

 

So, how do we do this very rudimentary task: have an icon that will directly open a particular database both for (1) the task bar, and (2) the Windows 8 Start Menu?

 

 

Okay, wait... we just discovered we can place the shortcut in C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

 

 

Why is this not available on the context menu? This is a major bug IMO.
