Shortcut/lnk to start/programs or start/settings?

[garyflynn]

Can anyone help me make a shortcut that opens the same system program that is opened when I select programs on the start menu. And another one for settings.

Neither start menu program exactly launches the folder in file explorer. There is some custom program in each case for providing an enhanced display.

I'm also trying to figure out how to make a launcher to the call log program that is different in subtle ways from the list of recent calls in the phone program.

I'd greatly appreciate any help.
