Does Metro have a file manager?
Hi All,
Okay, there is a file manager in Desktop, but is there one in Metro? If so, where is it and what is it called? Many thanks, -T |

File management continues to be handled by Windows Explorer in the desktop mode though some apps do provide the ability to save viewed or accessed content within the app. -- ....winston msft mvp |

Does Metro have a file manager?
Hi, Todd.
In (the GUI formerly known as) Metro, you should be able to find a Tile for "Computer". Click that to see good ol' (Window) Explorer, aka File Explorer. If you don't see the Computer tile, press the Windows key ("Start") and type in "explorer"; by the time you get to "expl" you should see two choices: Internet Explorer and File Explorer. And, of course, you can Pin to Start. RC -- -- R. C. White, CPA San Marcos, TX Microsoft Windows MVP (2002-2010) Windows Live Mail 2012 (Build 16.4.3505.0912) in Win8 Pro "Todd" wrote in message ...

"Todd" wrote in message ... Hi Winston and RC, Thank you You're welcome. Fyi....if you access All Apps the File Explorer modern UI icon/tile can be found under the Windows System group. File Explorer can be pinned to the Start Screen or Task Bar or right clicked to access it's shortcut file location for copying elsewhere (e.g. Desktop, Quick Launch toolbar. etc.) All Apps can be accessed by: 1. Rt click on blank area of task on the Modern UI (fka Metro) or 2. Winkey + Q (opens All Apps and a Search panel) - works in Desktop mode or Modern UI mode - the Search Panel will disappear by clicking on any blank space or moving the scroll bar These might be helpful http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...oard-shortcuts -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps |

Many thanks, -T If you like the old split screen file managers (most people did) you can launch two copies of Explorer together using WDE http://wde.codeplex.com/ It adds a few very useful features too. -- Bob - Tetbury, Gloucestershire, UK You know you're old when the Doctor warns you to slow down instead of the Police. |
