The Windows 8 Start screen comes pre-populated with lots of tiles, some of which you won't ever use. Instead of wasting that precious space, you can remove the tiles you don't use and pin your favorite Web sites to the Start screen for quick and easy access. Here's how:
Step 1: Open Internet Explorer from the Start screen and go to the Web site you want to pin.
Step 2: Click the pin icon in the lower right-hand corner of the address bar, then select Pin to Start.

Step 3: Change the description to something shorter, so it's not cut off at the end of the tile, then click the Pin to Start button.

That's it. By default, the new tile will be added to the far right side of the Start screen. If you want to move it, just click on the tile and drag it over to your preferred location.
