Window 8 Tils

[Marv]

A couple of days ago I downloaded Windows 8 Pro and installed it on a
test computer. Works OK. Based on what I have been able to read I
should been able to rename and change thee color on the tiles. All the
documentation I have seen says to right click on a tile to do the
changes. If I right click on a tile NOTHING happens. Can these items be
changed?

Right-clicking on a tile should open a bar at the screen bottom that
gives you a choice of several things to do. But changing the tile's
color is not one of them.

I simply didn't pursue it enough. I didn't associate the open File
Location icon as a means of changing the name.

Thanks!
