Internet Explorer in Windows 8 is starting to drive me nuts. Well-- maybe it has already driven me nuts. Am I hallucinating? There seems to be TWO of them. One is in the metro (Oops there I went and said that word, metro). Well whatever the heck you call it, it's there. When I saw it there, I right clicked it to put it on my task bar which is on the desktop. When I open it--the one on the task bar--it looks like it always did. But when I open the one on the metro, or whatever you call it, it's totally different. I can't figure it out; and it takes me quite some time before I can even get out of it. What's going on? Why should the one on my task bar be so much different? And, on the one that I open from that other thing, how in the world do you close it? :confused:
