• Why the icons disappear from the Start Menu?

  The Start Menu has two regions: a region for applications whose icons are pinned to the Start Menu and two region, for applications whose icons are not pinnend to the start menu... the positions of icons these vary, depending on the frequency of use.

  Why in the region shortcut icons do not disappear into the Start Menu?
  They are not being "jostled" more low ranking... they stop just appear.
  Open an application can hand its icon at two area of the Start Menu,
  but then after a few days (maybe earlier), for example, the icon is missing.

  Thank you
  DaleB

  You already have the answer yourself.

  "The two region" can only hold x number of icons... Let's say 7.
  If you later open a 8th program, among the list of 7 will be "hit.
  I opened Windows DVD Maker. Later, I opened MS Excel. Windows DVD is moved from the list.

• How can I PIN Hotmail at the START screen in Windows 8?

  I try to put as much USEFUL information on the screen of BOOT of Windows 8.  It is the screen that is displayed first after logging in Windows 8.  right now I have to go to the OFFICE to get to an email which is an extra step.  Any help is appreciated here.

  You say you want actually slab on your Start that will lead you to your Hotmail page in Internet Explorer? If Yes:

  To add a tile at the beginning who opens the Office of IE10 for Hotmail

  1. open IE10 Desktop then go to your Hotmail Inbox.

  2. click on Tools "cog" (top-right), and then select Add a Site to the start screen.

  To add a tile at the beginning that opens modern IE10 (aka metro) to Hotmail

  1. open modern IE10 then go to your Hotmail Inbox.

  2 right-click anywhere, and then click the PIN site icon (it looks like a bug - row at the bottom of the icons, 3rd from the right) and select Pin to Start.

  The foregoing will not be live tiles.

  The Microsoft Mail application can be used for Hotmail accounts and will have a live tile showing when the new mail arrived. Its features are far too limited for my taste.

  Windows Live Mail is a free alternative that can be used with Hotmail. When pinned at the beginning, it will not be a live tile showing the incoming mail, however. Please see:

• How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu?

  HIDDEN PIN TO THE MENU SHORTCUT START

  How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu? This problem occurs very simply but does not quite simply. I've pinned a shortcut to the Start Menu before you uncheck the hidden attribute (knew I had) causing the shortcut to be recorded without being visible. When I tried to pin it again I was alerted to his presence by the fact that the second pinning made an extension of title (2). When I tried to change the title, I received the message that a link of this title was already present. I don't want to stay as a situation lasting this is why I need instructions on how to change it. I could just change the title of the second pinning something close but different but then I would have two shortcuts to the same program pinned on my Start Menu, without being able to be removed. I just * because if I can tell. I could uninstall the program and then run another program looking for broken shortcuts to 'fix' and then (I guess that means deletion when they can't be 'fixed') but I would like to avoid the extra steps for pedestrians to the advantage of learning a new technique of Windows if such jurisdiction exists. Could use this help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

• Is it possible to change the screen on the start screen opens?

  I have a display dual display. I have #1 monitor set as my primary monitor only things as applications will launch on its default screen. Windows 8 at the opening of the splash screen, I prefer the start screen not to obscure everything I did on the primary monitor. (for example, to watch a movie) I prefer the start screen to open on the second monitor. Is this possible? I got tired of things like changing the monitor #2 to be primary, but the splash screen was again launching on monitor #1. If it can't be done through the registry or any other method, I guess I'll have to try rewiring all my screens. However, it would be only a temporary solution to stop that brings me to my follow-up question.

  I intend in the future to get a screen touch little 7pouces that I connect to my computer such as one-third of the screen and I would have 8 launch windows startup screen and stay on this screen all the time and all the apps I launch from windows 8 start screen to show on the main screen of my #1.

  Or the other of the above can be done?

  in the lower left corner of two monitors, if you move your mouse, you will have the option to open the splash screen. All this on the monitor you want to it load on and it will stay on the screen until you decide to change

• How to increase the number of lines of the App on the start screen

   I use the Lenovo Yoga powered by Windows 8 RT. When I turn on my computer and it goes to the start screen, 3 rows of Apps are displayed. However, every now and then, for some reason, it displays 4 rows of Apps. I usually adjust my Apps to suit line 4 because I prefer that display but, it always changes back to 3 ranks.   
  I am sure I have the correct screen resolution and my computer sleeps 4 rows of apps on the home screen, but I'm just not how to do it. I have 4 rows Apps displayed permanently and not only sometimes by chance. I would really appreciate if someone could give me a step by step on how to do. Thank you.

  This Friday, October 18, free to 8.1 Windows Update will be downloaded to your computer and your splash screen settings can be adjusted to display more lines.
