I am trying to create sample application for Windows 8 Embedded Handheld or Windows Store App, for that I have following configuration.

Configuration:
1. Windows 8 64Bit OS
2. Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition With Update 4 Installed
3. Windows Phone 8 SDK, Downloaded From This Link.
4. Windows 8 Embedded Handheld SDK, Downloaded From This Link.

But when I start my Visual Studio I don't see any option for Creating Windows Store App as Given in This video.

Also I am not able to see installed Windows 8 Phone SDK and W8EH SDK in, about screen of the Visual Studio 2012.

UPDATE
It will be very helpful if we have list of all the supported versions of Visual Studio with there targeted use, like for Desktop/Mobile(or 'Phone' it is also one more confusion)/Handheld/Embedded/Store, else it is very confusing for the beginners to decide which version of Visual Studio to use for development of Embedded/Handheld Application development.

You have the wrong edition of VS Express. You have the edition for Windows Desktop, which is for creating traditional Windows desktop applications. You need the edition for Windows, which is for creating Store apps that target the Modern UI.
