- Navigate to the website you wish to pin. Right-click, then select the Favorites button from the address bar menu.
- The Favorites toolbar will appear. Select the Pin site button.
Selecting the Pin Site button - A dialog box will appear. Click Pin to Start.
Clicking Pin to Start - The website will be pinned to the Start screen.
