I have a surface pro 1 with windows 8.1 installed. When I am on the metro screen and I click the Internet Explorer tile, I am sent to the desktop and the desktop version IE opens. How do I rein-able the touch version of IE.

I have IE 11 installed. I also have classic shell installed.

Thanks for the help. The cause was that if IE 11 is not the default browser the modern IE is disabled.
