There should be an icon for the Store in the taskbar by default.

Okay, I misunderstood your original post. You don't want a shortcut to the store on the desktop but shortcuts to the apps you get on the store. Correct? Are those web-based apps that run from the cloud?

Try
Run [which you get by holding WINKEY + R]
Type
shell:AppsFolder and then click on OK.

Find an app you wish to create a shortcut for, right-click and choose Create shortcut.
You’ll be prompted that the shortcut cannot be placed here, and Windows will recommend placing it on the desktop instead. Click on Yes.
