17 17  You may have noticed the new addition of Task View to the task bar. This feature allows you to view all your open windows so you can see them and select which one you'd like to have in the foreground. You can disable this as well by right clicking the taskbar and clicking Show Task View button so that the check next to it goes away.

38 -There is a lot of customization that you can do with the Start Menu. You cannot change your most used apps but if there is an app you want to always be in your Start Menu you can pin it to the start menu and it will show up with the live tiles. Just right click on the app in the start menu and select //Pin to Start//. Speaking of live times you can customize them quite a bit. To remove a tile from the menu right click it and select //Unpin from start//. You can also move the tiles around by clicking and holding them then drag them to where you want them. You can group the tiles together and name the groups. Some microsoft apps have live features such as news, and weather. You can enable and disable the live updating of these tiles by right clicking them and selecting either //Turn live tile off// or //Turn live tile on//.

40 -The start menu is technically a window and you can resize it or even make it fullscreen in the settings. To access the start menu settings go to **Start Menu > Settings > Personalization > Start** which is at the bottom of the list on the left. From here you can choose which folders appear in the start menu. This will allow you to add folders that you access a lot such as //Documents// or //Downloads// to your Start Menu for easy access. Instead of having a blank file explorer pop up it will bring you directly to the folder listed. This way you can access your //Documents// as you did in Windows 7.
