While installing a program, I inadvertently swiped my screen and now have tiles all over, I had the desktop set up much like Win 7 with icons and a dew tiles. I know it's probably something simple to fix it, but I can't figure it out . can anyone help?

Can you post a screenshot? Are you saying the start menu takes up most of the screen for example?

HI gmark! Can you not drag and drop the tiles where you want them. You can't post links yet. It's a forum safety for spammers:down:
