Hello,
Recently I have upgraded my notebook from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro and then to Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center. I noticed that the Start screen in Windows 8.1 shows on my laptop's 1366x768 display 4 rows of tiles on the Start screen.
However, at home, I usually attach an HDMI cable to my laptop and work on FullHD 1920x1080 display. Now the thing is that the Start screen displays 6 rows of tiles by default. I tried changing the Layout_MaximumRowCount DWORD value in the registry to 4, but unfortunately my Start screen still displays 4 rows of tiles no matter what I try.
So, does anyone have an idea how can I make the Start screen show only 4 tiles instead of 6 on FullHD? The reason I am asking for this is because I got accustomed to how the Start screen looked on my laptop's screen and it is very hard to memorize another layout just for when I work at home.
P.S. I also used the tutorial to enlarge things in the Modern environment, and it showed 4 tiles instead of 6, but Modern applications looked too big for me. I just want fewer rows on the Start screen, not bigger rows...
Thanks in advance.
