Adding or Removing Start Screen Items
Removing something from the Start Screen is easy, so you can begin there. To Remove an unwanted or unused tile from the Start Screen, right-click it and choose Unpin from Start from the pop-up menu along the screen's bottom. The unloved title slides away without fuss.
But you will probably want to spend more time adding items to the Start screen, and here's why. It is easy to escape the Start screen by clicking the Desktop app. But once you are safely on the desktop, how do you start a program without heading back to the Start screen? To escape this recursive conundrum, stock your start screen with Icons for your favorite desktop destinations, such as programs, folders and settings. Then, instead of loading the desktop and looking lost, you can head to your final destination straight from the Start screen.
To add programs or apps to the Start screen, follow these steps:
1. Press the Start screen's All Apps button.
Right click a blank portion of the Start screen and then choose the All Apps button along the screen's bottom. On a touchscreen, slide your finger upward from the screen's bottom edge and then tap the All Apps icon. No matter which route you take, the Start screen alphabetically lists all your installed apps and programs.
2. Right click the item you want to appear on the Start screen and choose Pin to Start.
3. Repeat Step 2 for every item you want to add.
Unfortunately, you can not select and add several items simultaneously.
4. Choose the Desktop app.
The desktop appears.
5. Right click desired items and Choose Pin to Start.
Right Click a library, folder, file or other item you want added to the Start screen, when the pop up menu appears, Choose Pin to Start. When you are through, your Start screen will have grown considerably with all your newly added destinations.
