Is there any common storage location in WinRT that can be accessed by multiple the Applications installed.
?
Scenarios is as below:
1. I will have two Metro Apps say App1 and App2
2. When App1 is started, I write some text data to storage
3. Later after some, time may be a day, App2 starts
4. When App2 starts, I need to read the data as stored in step 2 abov
Basically I want to share data in two applications in WinRT

If you are talking about application data, then no – due to the sandboxed model of Windows 8 application execution. You can certainly write data and read data to/from the file system, but that requires the user granting explicit consent using the file picker contract.
Your applications could alternatively store data externally, in the cloud or on-premises, and make service calls to read/write the data. The sharing contract and protocol activation is another option for collaborative applications. Lastly, Raw push notifications might work here here.
