Start application maximized from Start Menu in Windows 8

There are occasions when you want to start an application maximized.  This is easy in Windows 7 as you can easily find the shortcuts for an application in Start Menu, and change its settings to maximize itself when it starts.

Since Windows 8 revamped the Start Menu, things simple as maximizing an application when open is difficult.  To do this, you need to go to Start Screen, then press the Down Arrow to show all applications.  Right click the application you want to change.  You should see more option at the bottom of your screen.  Select the option of Open File Location.  Now you should see the Shortcut behind the button appears on your start screen.  From this point forward, you can do the same thing you can do with previous version of Windows.  You can make the application start maximized, run as Administrator etc.
