So I decided I wanted to have some of my steam games as shortcut in metro, too bad metro don't like url shortcuts, so here's the solution I have :

 

- Firstly I'd recommend you to create a folder for your shortcuts, it'll be easier to manage them, for example, mine is in :

 

C:\Steam_metro_shortcuts

- Then choose the game you want a metro shortcut of and create a regular desktop shortcut, put this shortcut in your shortcut folder

 

- Open a text file and write the following stuff in it :

 

@echo off
cls
start X:\your_shortcut_folder_name_here\your_steamshortcut_here.url
end

- Register this text file as a .bat in your steam shortcut folder with the name you want

 

- Now create a shortcut to a random .exe to metro

 

- Go to metro and right click the shortcut to see where the file is

 

- Once your in the metro shortcut directory, edit the path of the shortcut to :

 

X:\your_shortcut_folder_name_here\your_bat_file_here.bat

- Change the icon to the game icon, and here you are with a working metro shortcut to a steam game

... but steam.exe -applaunch works just fine?

Steam.exe -applaucnh 440 for Team Fortress 2

You can get appids easily via wiki, or just by going to the store page of the game

Oh well thank you, I was kinda sure there was a better method but well this one works too :mrgreen:
