Open up Explorer and head to the following path:

%appdata%\microsoft\windows\Start Menu\Programs\

Once you’re there, you can browse down into one of the folders, though you can probably leave the shortcut in that folder as well.

Without third party apps it may not be possible. There's the MetroApp Link 2.0 program which could provide a good way to have App shortcuts show up on the Desktop view.
