In Win 8, I can't always find things I regularly used in Win 7. Where do I find the List of Programs displayed by the old Start button? When scrolling down the list, you could open a program's folder to find the start button for the program, the uninstallation program, auxiliary programs etc, and with right-click you could copy these start buttons to the desktop or taskbar. Where is this list now? And how do I search for such as feature as List of Programs which must surely be buried somewhere in Win 8?
Another item I'm looking for is “What happens when I close the lid” (of a laptop computer). This function was available in the Windows Update dialog box in Win 7, if I remember correctly. Its important to be able to choose what happens when you close the lid. You might want the computer to stay on and do nothing when you close the lid, if you are going to attach an external monitor and keyboard. Or you might want the laptop to shut down if you regularly use it in situations where you need to close the lid quickly, like getting off a train. But where is this function in Win 8? And how do I search for such an item in Win 8?
