Six tips for Windows 8

Most new Windows 8 users have used
earlier versions of Windows. Moving
around in Windows 8 will be very familiar
to most of you, however, there are a few
things that might leave you scratching your
head and wondering. The following tips
might help answer some pressing
questions:

Where did the Start button go?

The Windows 8 desktop lacks a Start
button but otherwise looks identical to
Windows 7.

Where did My Documents go?

Windows 8 places your My Documents
folder inside your Documents library.
Makes more sense than in the Pictures
library!

Is there a difference between wallpaper
and the screen background?

Many people refer to the background
simply as wallpaper.

What's that icon all about?

If you plug a digital camcorder, cell phone,
or other device into your PC, the Windows
Explorer window will often sprout a new
icon representing your device.

Why is the taskbar way down there?

To move the taskbar from the desktop’s
bottom edge, try dragging it to your
screen’s side. If it doesn’t move, right-
click the taskbar and click Lock the
Taskbar to remove the check mark by that
option.

How can you burn CDs and DVDs quickly?

For quick CD or DVD burning, put a
shortcut to your disc drive on your
desktop. Burning files to disc becomes as
simple as dragging and dropping them
onto the new shortcut.
