You might have noticed that if you right-click on shortcuts, you don't have to option to pin them to the start menu. To overcome this do:

1. open file explorer and go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
2. drag the shortcut you want to pin into the Start Menu folder

That is it...

(Win 8.1)

1. open the file explorer and go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
2. paste a shortcut of the program you want to run at start-up to that folder

1. create a file %userprofile%\aliases.cmd
2. in that file you can add aliases as follow:

@echo off
doskey python3 = c:\python34\python.exe $* 

for PowerShell this will look like

@echo off
New-Alias python3 c:\python34\python.exe

3. click the [Windows] button
4. type "cmd", right-click on "command-prompt" and select [open file location]
5. right-click on the "command prompt" shortcut and select [properties]
6. change the target to %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k "%userprofile%\aliases.cmd"
