Manage tiles to make most of Windows Start Screen : Windows 8 tips



Here I am listing some tips to manage your tiles which will help you to get the most of Windows Start Screen.

1] You can use mouse wheel to scroll left to right or right to left through your tiles.

2] To move a tile, simply click and hold then drag into the group you would like to see it, once you have placed it where you want, just release.  

3] Any Desktop shortcut or program can be pinned to the Start screen by right-clicking the icon and choosing Pin to Start


4] In the bottom right-hand corner of the start screen is a magnifying glass with tiles, click this icon to get a zoomed out view of your Start screen. In this view, if you right-click on a group of tiles you'll be given the option to name group, which can be useful if you have a group of related tiles, you can also click and drag a group to organize your tile groups.




5] Resize any User tile or Live tile by right-clicking the tile and choosing resize.


6] If there is a tile you want on your Taskbar, right-click the tile and choose Pin to taskbar.

7] Show admin applications on the Start screen by clicking Settings in Charms (an opaque sidebar that appears on right side of the screen shortcut key: Window key + C ), click Settings, and change the Show administrative tools from No to Yes.

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
