Window 8 Customize the Start screen

Customize the Start screen

Just like you had a Start menu in Windows 7, you have a Start screen in Windows 8 and Windows RT. It has all of the info you care about in one place. You can just glance at the tiles to get the latest headlines, real-time updates, and info, or you can open apps, websites, contacts, and folders.

Here are the quickest ways to get to Start:

With touch, swipe in from the right edge of your screen, and then tap [b]Start[/b].
With a mouse, move your pointer to the upper-right or lower-right corner, and then move it up or down and click Start. (Or, point to the lower-left corner, and click Start when it appears.)
With a keyboard, press the Windows logo key 

So arrange Start any way you want it, and put your favorite apps, people, and websites front and center. Here are a few options you can try.
