Pinning a File to the Start Menu

from PaulC_1 in the Windows Forums

Create a shortcut to the file, and copy that shortcut to the file to the following folder. This is the folder that the start menu reads from.

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder

From there: in the start menu, right click on the menu item that appears (probably at the top) and click [Pin to Start]. Alternatively, you can drag the item to the pin space.

Adding a New Search Option in Preferences

from BugSquanch and Dave M on Stack Exchange

about:config

search and turn to True (with the [+] button):

browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh

Then, you should have an [Add] button in Search Shortcuts. Fill in the form, remembering to use '%s' in place of the search term. (Adding a keyword is optional)

After that, you can select it in Default Search Engine if you'd like.
