detect if application started via the legacy desktop icon or via the Win8 Tile UI ?

$

My application is a Desktop (Not a Metro App). When my application is installed it creates the usual start menu and desktop icons. But if it's installed on Windows 8 a tile also appears on the Win8 Tiled UI.

I don't create that tile. Win8 does it automatically.

At run time I'd like the program to be able to detect whether it was started via the legacy start menu/desktop icons or whether the user tapped the tile on the Win8 UI.

Is there any property that the program can read to give it that information ? Or is it just a case of sticking command line args into the start/desktop icon shortcuts ?

Thanks
