Questions about Metro UI:

1) There are many apps which do not have X button to close: How can I close these apps?
2) How can I launch apps in the Accessaries' folder or how to access the folder?

You don't need to close the Apps, they become suspended when you leave them. All the Applications in the Accessories are in Apps window, click search and click Apps in the right of the screen. HTH.
