Re: Win8 Start Button
Think Glen might be having wet-ware problems. The zone has always been there - check the other corners too!

Re: Win8 Tiles, Shortcuts and multi-program applications.
Start Right Click All Apps Click the button [-] in the bottom right corner. This will bring up a 'Directory' listing of all the installed Apps Click the category (your program) you want and it will jump to the set of programs you want. As for the creating icons etc. I have no idea ;) Damon Pollard On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 9:15 AM, Glen Harvy g...@aquarius.com.au wrote: Hi Shielas and Fellas, Installing an application in Win8 results in my desktop applications 3 sub - programs being included as tiles/links on the Win8 Start Screen whilst the main programs tile/link doesn't get included on the Start Screen at all. I believe I can fix this by pinning the main programs link to the Start 'Menu' and ensuring the sub-programs are unpinned to the Start Screen. The main program still appears on the Desktop Screen but to locate the sub-programs will mean they are located on another screen that will in effect hold possibly hundreds of other sub-programs as well. There has been some discussion regarding creating a dedicated Metro Style application that would do nothing else but act as a launch-pad for the Main and sub-programs. I appreciate that eventually programs will be re-written to accommodate Win8 however this won't happen for years. I'm not to certain that the current Win8 format with regards to sub-programs will survive the test of time either. In the interim, what are you doing to make your multi-program application 'fit' into Win8 as seamlessly as possible. Also, how does one create and add a reasonably decent 'Tile' to hold the applications icon? I would have thought all the above would have been discussed to death by now but I can't find much via Google - probably because I'm using the wrong search terms! Regards, Glen.
