How Do I setup InPrivate Browser on Metro IE11

Click for full size
When I click here
Click for full size
Or click here
Okay So in Windows 8.1 Desktop I can setup IE11 to start up in InPrivate Browsing by default. When I click on IE11 from Start or click on IE11 from the Apps it does not start up InPrivate Browsing by default. How do I setup it up Metro IE11 for that???

You mean this:
»technet.microsoft.com/en ··· 638.aspx

Or look at the short cut for the command to open (right click - properties) and add -private
There is a space before the command.

Click for full size
No option from Start
Click for full size
No option from Apps
Metro IE11 doesn't give me the option. I'm able to do the -private for IE11 Desktop but just not for IE11 Metro.

All I can see is delete the short cut, create a new shortcut setup on your desktop with the -private applied "then right click "pin to start".

This should then create the short cut with the correct ruling.

I deleted both the IE11 Shortcuts from the Start and Taskbar and then restored them both. Couldn't deleted the IE11 shortcut from Apps. Then restored them both. As before InPrivate Browsing still doesn't start up as default in IE11 Metro. IE11 InPrivate Browsing starts up by default just fine.

I'm not sure what else to look at then.
Maybe one of the gurus can help.

That tells me what I already know about how to setup IE11 for the InPrivate Browsing on the Desktop. What I can't figure out is how to get InPrivate Browsing to work on IE11 Metro.

Does this one help you at - or is this similar to what you have done?
How to create custom shortcuts in Windows 8

It seems to me Apps are fine from looking around, whereas IE is system based, and Metro might not have the customize options to start with.
A third party GUI skin package may change this.
