Method to open any Windows 10 Apps from command line

Hi everyone, I am here to share how to open any Windows 10 Apps from command line.

1. Open

Code:

shell:AppsFolder

2. Find your app
3. Right click and choose "Create Shortcut"
4. Yes, placed the shortcut on desktop
5. Right click the shortcut and choose "Properties"
6. Take a look on the Target Type
7. Open powershell (by opening start and type powershell)
8. Type

Code:

get-appxpackage > 123.txt

9. Win-key + r then put "%UserProfile%" in the box and enter
10. Open 123.txt
11. Find the PackageFamilyName in the txt that matches with the Target Type you from the properties (You can use ctrl + f)
12. Browse to the InstallLocation corresponded to the PackageFamilyName
13. Open the AppxManifest.xml
14. Look for "Executable=" for the app you want. (As some app package contains more than one app, such mail and calendar are under the same packetage)
15. On the same line, find the ID of the app
16 Then your command line is :

Code:

explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\put-your-PackageFamilyName-here!put-your-app-ID-here

Such as mail:

Code:

explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.windowslive.mail
                              ^Here is the PackageFamilyName                   !^Here is the app ID

So far so good, but what about shortcuts, which were pinned to the start-menu from inside an app?
For example, I'm using the "Zattoo" live-stream app.
Command, which works well:

Code:

explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\ZattooEuropaAG.ZattooLiveTV_cwpjhwd4pd0ma!App

But, this app allows me to pin several channels to the start menu, to run them directly, without starting the app itself first.
So I need to run the above command line with parameters...
Where are these kinds of shortcuts stored?
