When my laptop starts up, I click on the 'Desktop' button and that's where I stay. I put a shortcut to my 'Start Menu' folder on the desktop, so I have easy access to all software installed. I also put shortcuts for the software I use most on my taskbar. And I put a shortcut to my 'Control Panel' on the 'Windows' menu where the start button used to be. That is my workaround and except for the start button, my Windows 8 looks like Windows 7! And rumor has it, so many people have complained about Windows 8, Microsoft is bringing back the Start button in Windows 9 :) HTHAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334982555324442212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863343108061337120.post-41637413859718940822014-08-25T17:45:42.351+02:002014-08-25T17:45:42.351+02:00Good luck trying to figure out Windows 8. A frien...Good luck trying to figure out Windows 8. A friend of mine bought a new laptop with this and to date has still not figured it out. <br /><br />Some of the laptops have both 7 & 8 installed and one of the icons on the desk top will change over to Windows 7. I don't know anyone who likes the 8 version.<br /><br />Maybe a book "Learn Windows 8 Visually" could help. Sometimes Amazon has used copies at a really good price.<br /><br />I thought that was funny about the "Walkman". Technology has come so far in so few years. Thank goodness there are youngsters to teach us. lol. <br /><br />You have a wonderful day my friend. Hugs, Edna B.Edna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550994321689374875noreply@blogger.com
