I'm trying to add a button on the start screen for "Mail" in control panel. The one that allows me to configure my mail accounts outside of MS Outlook.
Re: Add Control Panel Item to Start Screen Windows 8.1
the control panel - only has a mail control for outlook , or for going to the settings of your default email client
see here List of Control Panel Applets in Windows
If its not already a tile on the start panels -then you should be able to add from the Apps list.
I dont have W8 in front of me - but every system i have worked on has the mail app already in the start tiles
goto start tile
now depending on if you have W8 or W8.1
W8 - right click and then click on Apps and you should see a list of all the apps and programs available - you can then click on the mail app and pin to start
W8.1
put the mouse on the bottom of the screen - left hand side an arrow appears - click on it to see all your apps and programs
and then find the mail app

See attached.
I want to make a tile on the start screen from the "Mail" command from Control Panel. In the attached it is named as "Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2013) (32-bit)"
There is already a mail app, but that is not what I want.
