How to make the icons of programs appears on the screen of windows 8

Hi Thunderlight, you helped me with my last request and thank you again now I have another question that you might be able to help me with.  How to make the icons of programs appears on my screen of windows 8?  I had to download the debut8 when I had windows 8 so I would have the appearance of windows 7 until I have to use Windows 8.  And some of my icons of windows 7 on my windows 8, but not all.  How to go on my windows screen 8 tiles?   I now get more usage of windows 8 and use it more now so would like all my original programs that I had with windows 7 on my windows 8 as it is now tile.  I thank you and hope you can help.

Hi Laura,

In theory, when you switch from an earlier version of Windows to Windows 8 - as your installed applications are kept by the upgrade process, except those who are not compatible - you should find all your apps in Windows 8.

If they all do not appear on your start screen follow these steps to pin them there:

  • [Win] + C
  • Search
  • Click anywhere in the top middle of the screen to hide the charm bar

All installed applications are displayed. They do not necessarily correspond on a single screen to use the horizontal "lift" to bottom of the screen to move to the right / left

  • Right-click on an application, you want to pin to the start screen
  • Click on Pin to Start at the bottom left of the screen

You are finished. A mosaic of this application is available on the start screen.

If there is an application, you are sure is installed on your PC and you don't think through the steps made me know - there will be more complex...

If you install a new application under Windows 8 the corresponding tile is automatically added to your start screen.

Hope this helps

See you soon

LZ.

  • How to make the progress bar display in the icon in the taskbar for WIN 7?

    How to make the progress bar display in the icon in the taskbar for WIN 7? I see Eclipse Helios can show the loading progress bar in the icon in the taskbar of WINDOWS 7 at startup.

    Is not the feature that provides JavaFX, you must write a native connection called technology such as JNI to make specific Windows API call for updating the icon in the taskbar for the application.

    Maybe you could go through the Eclipse source code to see how Eclipse and see if you can make use of the same mechanism in your application.

    More tips on how you can implement this are outside my area of expertise.

  • How to make the status of concurrent program error

    Hi Experts,

    I've written a PL/SQL package procedure, created an executable w / values for my 2 IN parameters and he attributed to a simultaneous program to the e-business suite.

    The specification of the procedure looks like this:
    PROCEDURE PROC1 (

    p_contract_number IN VARCHAR2,
    p_end_date_char IN VARCHAR2 
    );
    Here my requirement is like this,

    How to make the status of the program contributing to the error even if the program successfully completes.
    Please let me know how?

    Thank you
    Suman V.

    Hello

    To give an error output, simply put the RETCODE contains 2
    To give a warning output set to 1
    for and OK output set to 0.

    If your procedure may be:

    procedure proc1 (errbuf OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2,
    OUT NOCOPY RETCODE NUMBER,
    p_contract_number IN VARCHAR2,
    p_end_date_char in VARCHAR2
    ) IS
    BEGIN
    RETCODE: = 2;
    errbuf: = ' this CR WRONG because I wanted it ';
    END;

    This will give you an error.
    It may be good to your CR PLSQL like this:

    procedure proc1 (errbuf OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2,
    OUT NOCOPY RETCODE NUMBER,
    p_contract_number IN VARCHAR2,
    p_end_date_char in VARCHAR2
    ) IS
    BEGIN
    RETCODE: = 0;
    return;

    exception
    while others then
    RETCODE: = 2;
    errbuf: = "an error has unhandeled."
    return;
    END;

    This way execptions generate an error.
