How do I Show Text Icon Labels on my new 8.1 Tablet ?
I am struggling with my new Windows 8.1 Tablet. On my old PC Outlook
Express and Internet Explorer have the options to show text labels. This Tablet has mystical Icons with no text and I have been unable to find how to display any text instead of the Icons. I do see that if I connect a mouse and hover it sometimes text is shown. I would be very grateful if someone could show me the way. Thank you. Mike. |

That's when you hold your mouse cursor over something in the interface, and a little label pops up over top of the screen with the text corresponding to the icon function. Paul |

It is only a drop down box option for Outlook Express and Internet Explorer in XP so I would hope for similar in 8.1 but am unable to find the option. Mike |

What program are you seeing these icons ? If not a application program and just Windows 8.1 where might you be referring (e.g. File Explorer, Control Panel, Start Screen) Can you provide some examples what these icons show ? -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |
