How to Pin sites using Internet Explorer 11

[Jolyn Christine]

As Windows 8.1 is too close for its final release, and i'm planning to get the same on my existing Windows 7 running Viao laptop, i downloaded the ISO image, burned it to DVD and dual booted my laptop with Win 7 and Win 8.1. All good so far, but just a small problem with IE. Or might be i am missing it.

As 8.1 brings new IE 11 with it, i am not able to pin sites anymore with this browser like we use to do in IE 9 and IE 10. Have they removed that feature from this new version or have been moved somewhere else? Can you please let me know where it is ?

Neither it is removed not moved, but made bit tricky. With the new Internet Explorer 11 Metro, you need to press Win + Z key and then click the Star button. Now here on Favourites on the top right corner you will see the option "Pin". Now simply click Pin to Start and this will pin the sites on your Metro Screen.

Yeah, even I found the pin button at the top of the black bar of Favorites. I don’t know what the reason to make it so tricky was. Somebody please report Microsoft this problem before they release the final edition of IE 11 so that they can make it normal as it was before in IE 10.
