About this tag
The desktop view tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about opening web pages and applications in the traditional desktop interface rather than in a tablet or mobile-style view. A common topic is configuring Windows 8's email app to open links directly in desktop view instead of the Internet Explorer app. Users seek ways to bypass the modern UI and have links launch in the desktop browser by default. The tag focuses on user preferences for the desktop environment and troubleshooting settings that control how content is displayed across different Windows interfaces.
Whenever I open links in the win 8 email app, the link opens in the internet explorer app. From the app, I can open the page in desktop view. Now is it possible to have the links open directly into desktop view as that is what I would prefer?
