C# get windows 8 start/metro process

Is it possible to get windows 8 start/metro process?
If it is, than how?

I tried to list all the running process but I cant figure which is the start
If you ask what do I need it for > I need to because I want to put it permanently on one of my screens without being minimized / closed.

Thanks.

EDIT!!

There are two ways to I know about to launch apps. You can launch apps through FA(file association) or through PH (protocol handlers) (Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync and Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync)

I answered this a couple of days ago. But I not all is mentioned in my answer.

All the Metro-style applications work in the highly sandboxed environment and there is no way to directly start an external application.

You can try to use Launcher class – depends on your need it may provide you a feasible solution.

The Start Screen, like the Start Menu in older versions, is part of Explorer. I'm fairly certain you can't do what you're trying to do.
