• 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 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.
