Latest Tricks for Window 8

1. Group apps

The Start screen apps are initially displayed in a fairly random order, but if you'd prefer a more organized life then it's easy to sort them into custom groups.

You might drag People, Mail, Messaging and Calendar over to the left-hand side, for instance, to form a separate 'People' group. Click the 'menus' icon in the bottom right corner of the screen to zoom out and you'll now find you can drag and drop the new group (or any of the others) around as a block. Right-click within the block (while still zoomed out) and you'll also be able to give the group a name, which - if you go on to add another 20 or 30 apps to your Start screen - will make it much easier to find the tools you need. 

Windows 8.1  now provides a special Customize mode with much the same functionality. Right-click an empty part of the Start screen, or swipe up, tap Customize, then drag and drop tiles or rename app groups to whatever you need. 

2. Make access easier 

If there's an application you use all the time then you don't have to access it via the search system. Pin it to the Start screen and it'll be available at a click.

Start by typing part of the name of your application. To access Control Panel, for instance, type 'Control'. Right-click the 'Control Panel' tile on the Apps Search screen, and click 'Pin to Start'. If you're using a touchscreen, press and hold the icon, then flick down and select 'Pin to Start'.
Now press the Windows key, scroll to the right and you'll see the Control Panel tile at the far end.

Drag and drop this over to the left somewhere if you'd like it more easily accessible, then click the tile to open the desktop along with the Control Panel window, and press the Windows key to return you to the Start screen when you're done. 

3. Learn Windows key shortcuts
                        
• Win : switch between the Start screen and the last-running Windows 8 app


                        • Win + C : displays the Charms: the Settings, Devices, Share and Search options

                        • Win + D : launches the desktop

                        • Win + E : launches Explorer

                        • Win + F : opens the File Search pane

                        • Win + H : opens the Share pane

                        • Win + I : opens Settings

                        • Win + K : opens the Devices pane

                        • Win + L : locks your PC

                        • Win + M : minimizes the current Explorer or Internet Explorer window (works in the full-screen IE, too)

                        • Win + O : toggles device orientation lock on and off

                        • Win + P : switch your display to a second display or projector

                        • Win + Q : open the App Search pane

                        • Win + R : opens the Run box

                        • Win + U : open the Ease of Access Center

                        • Win + V : cycle through toasts (notifications)

                        • Win + W : search your system settings (type POWER for links to all power-related options, say)

                        • Win + X : displays a text menu of useful Windows tools and applets

                        • Win + Z : displays the right-click context menu when in a full-screen app

                        • Win + + : launch Magnifier and zoom in

                        • Win + - : zoom out

                        • Win + , : Aero peek at the desktop

                        • Win + Enter : launch Narrator

                        • Win + PgUp : move the current screen to the left-hand monitor

                        • Win + PgDn : move the current screen to the right-hand monitor

                        • Win + PrtSc : capture the current screen and save it to your Pictures folder

                        • Win + Tab : switch between running apps. 

4. Run two apps side by side
 
Modern UI apps are what Microsoft calls 'immersive' applications, which basically means they run full-screen - but there are ways to view up to four at once.

On Windows 8, swipe from the left and the last app you were using will turn into a thumbnail; drop this, and one app displays in a sidebar pane while your current app takes the rest of the screen. And you can then swap these by swiping again.
Windows 8.1  expands on this and can display up to four apps simultaneously, if you've enough screen space. Move your mouse cursor to the top of the screen, and when it changes to a hand icon, drag and drop your app to the left or right. Once you've moved it enough, a dividing line will appear, you can drop the app, and it'll appear in just that part of the screen. Use the bar between your apps to resize their window widths, or if you need to make one full-screen again.


5. Show administrative tools

Experienced Windows users who spend much of their time in one advanced applet or another are often a little annoyed to see their favorite tools buried by Windows 8. Microsoft has paid at least some attention, though, and there are ways to bring some of them back.

As we've mentioned, pressing Win+X launches a menu with plenty of technical tools: 'Device Manager', 'Network Connections', 'Computer Management' and more.

If you need more power, open the Charm bar by flicking your finger from the right-hand side of the screen and select 'Settings' then 'Tiles'. Change 'Show administrative tools' to 'Yes' and click back on an empty part of the Start screen. And it's as simple as that. Scroll to the right and you'll find a host of new tiles for various key applets - Performance Monitor, Event Viewer, Task Scheduler, Resource Monitor and more - ready to be accessed at a click.
