Start Screen Icons?
Is there any way to delete and save some of the icons that show up on
my Start screen? I would like to get rid of some of these and hope to get the ones I use arranged such that I don't have to scroll to the right to see them. But if I simply delete some of these icons then discover that I really do want/need them, how could I retreive them? Thanks, Gordon |

Thanks, Gordon Simply right click somewhere on the Start screen and then select all Apps. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Thunderbird v12.0.1 Centrino Core2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz - 4GB - Windows XP SP2 |

Start Screen Icons?
Answered previously.
One doesn't really delete anything from the Start Screen - One pins and unpins an item since the file for the pin/unpinned items actually reside elsewhere. If the program is Msft app or installed app one can usually restore the item to the Start Screen by accessing the All Apps menu....as long as the program abides by Win8's method of creating groups or start screen items. If you need to 'delete' then one must delete the item from the file location that holds the item. One can find the 'File location' for an item on the start screen by rt. clicking and choosing 'Open File Location' -- ....winston msft mvp "Gordon" wrote in message ...
