Can you set a HOME page in IE10 under Metro?

When running IE10 from the Metro side, no tool bars are visible and I cannot find a way to set a start (or home) page.
It always goes to whatever site was last visited, which is annoying.
Is there a way to set and go to a 'home' page.
The classic 'desktop' version works as expected.

Thanks

From Microsoft answers. : the only way to sort of create a homepage for the metro page is to open IE. Then type the site you want to be your homepage in the address bar below, when the page is displayed click the pin button to the right. This will bring a box up - click pin to start. This will pin that page to your IE button. Next time you open IE it will refresh to the page that you pinned to it. This is the closet you will get to a homepage.
 
Thanks, that really makes sense ( more than the app does)

The new interface does seem to have a steep learning curve, at least for those 'shortcuts' we used in 7 (or in 286 ,3,95,xp,Vista [I'm old![tongue]])
