G7 - 2233cl: 8.1 to Windows at startup in the office and I would like it to start in the start screen

At the start, and after I entered my user name and password, the computer opens the office. I would have rather it would open to the SPLASH screen instead of the desktop computer.  I, m new in 8.1 for Windows so if someone could explain to me how to change this setting any share on the computer I would appreciate it.  Please, be specific and do not assume that I know nothing Windows 8.1 because as I said above I am brand new to it.

My 1st time using this forum, so I couldn't even post that to the good advice - hope that is not the case :-(

Thank you

Hi there @8dakota8,.

Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome!

I read your post on the Forums of HP Support and see that you are new to Windows 8.1 and the HP's Support Forums. Please use the Forums from the HP Support, if ever you have any questions or concerns. We are always here to help!

You mentioned that you would like to know how to start from the start, instead of your desktop computer screen.

I found the instructions for you on how to move the Office to start instead. I quoted them here for you.

Source: choose where to go when you connect

First, open Taskbar Properties tasks and Navigation by hitting on any fly in the right edge of the screen, type search (or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then clicking on search), enter in 'taskbar ' in the search box then touching or clicking the taskbar and Navigation in the results.

To start at the beginning:

Press or click the Navigation tab

Clear the checkbox "go to the office instead of start... ».

Click on apply

Click OK.

Restart your laptop and make sure that you see the start instead of the desktop computer screen.

I hope this has helped! Please let me know if that solves the problem by marking this post as an acceptable Solution.

Have a great day!

    You did not say what service pack you have installed, but I guess not SP3. Try to upgrade to SP3 and then try again.

    If you have Service Pack 1 has already been installed on your computer, you can go ahead and install Service pack 3

    Otherwise, you must download and install Service Pack 2.

    And later, you must install Service pack 3.

    Service pack 1 and service pack 2 Service pack 1 has joined in.

    I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?

    original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

    If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

    1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

    2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

    3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

        A list of devices appears. If a device has problems, the unit has a red exclamation mark next to it. If a device is unknown (usually because of missing drivers), the device has a yellow question mark next to it.

    Hello

    I want to do some development C++ on WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 32 bit and I would like to use

    Buy a copy used at Amazon at a reasonable price. What I want to do is strictly office and involves calculations and

  • I'm running Windows 8 and I would like to "send > link by e-mail" of Internet Explorer 10

    I'm running Windows 8 and I would like to "send > link by e-mail" of Internet Explorer 10.  His option was released as is gray "send > Page by e-mail."  My client messaging on Windows 8 says simply "Mail".  I don't know if it's different from "Windows Live Mail".  Everything I see in the forums says I have to choose "Windows Live Mail" as my email client.  I found that "Windows Live Mail" part of Windows Essentials.  So, I don't know if the "Mail" client is the same as "Windows Live Mail" and there is another problem with me being not able to "send > link by e-mail," or if I need to install "Windows Essentials" in order to get the "Windows Live Mail".  Also, FYI, I am able to send a link by e-mail to Firefox and it uses my client "Mail" in Windows 8.

    There is no need to cancel one for Windows since CC subscriptions are not platform specific.  Your subscription allows you to use it on Windows and Mac computers, so just install Mac on Mac files.

    Download/install the desktop application, connect and install applications subscription.

  • Applications Windows XP Startup - Bug: the .exe file name only, not the full path

    Using Windows XP, run-msconfig-startup online online, only the name of the Executive file of the Applications that load and boot at startup are shown - this name sometimes not easily indicates he belongs as to which Application.
    Therefore, it becomes difficult to decide to uncheck (stop autoloading at startup) or not - unless the full path to its location is revealed. But this small window no poster not the full path - even if the mouse pointer is hovered over an entry in the list of applications.
    Third-party software (AnVir Task Manager Free) displayed the full path when the mouse pointer is moved to an entry.
    Microsoft should take the queue and improve this Service / installation / functionality, please.

    On my Windows XP, there is a 'Command' column / window for the start of the tab that displays the full path to the file.  If this column is not wide enough to show the entire path, place your cursor on the line that separates the column header in order for the column heading 'Image '.  The cursor turns into a line with arrows pointing to the left and right upright.  Click and hold the mouse button down and drag to the right.  The column will expand and a horizontal lift will open down to scroll all right.

    If this does not satisfy your needs, try the more technical version of msconfig Microsoft-"Autoruns".

  • How to stop the installer of windows at startup to the top

    Hi, when I start my computer with the windows vista Setup program automatically starts and tries to start the blackberry desktop software, which was on this model but I got rid of him. It's annoying that it stops at the comp to load the rest of the startup programs. Anyone know what I can do to get rid of this nuisance?

    Very appreciated

    QF

    Do not know if this the the right answer for you.
    The next method is to set Windows Installer to MANUAL application Services program so that it does not start automatically when you turn on the computer.

    Windows Installer is supposed to be set to manual.

    Start button > in the search box, type services > press the Enter key > uac prompt > scroll to find Windows Installer > click...
    status section, there should be nothing (empty)
    Unser Startup Type, it is and must be manual


    If this isn't what you see, right click on Windows Installer > properties > change it. See screenshot.

    For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.
