Solved. Good point Shawn! I forgot all about the old F11 enlargement deal. Thanks again. Let's call this Solved.

This is getting a bit confusing. Not every app on the Start Screen opens on my Desktop, very few in fact. What I meant was when I click on e.g. Internet Explorer on the Start Screen it opens up full screen. It's true I also have Internet Explorer on my Desktop as well, which I open from the...

Thanks guys. I did manage to do as you said & installed the Chrome app on the Start Screen. However, when I click on it, it opens up on the Desktop. I wanted to know if I could get it to open up on the Start Screen. I don't know if I've worded that correctly. E.g. I can open up Internet Explorer...

When you download Google Chrome it opens up on the Desktop, but how do I get it to also open up on my Start Screen? Thanks for any suggestions.

I have verified in 'Control Panel' that I have specified by default that the 'Reader' app is to open my .pdf files. However, when I select a .pdf file in my 'My Documents' folder they won't open. A previously opened .pdf file does open though. Any suggestions friends? Thanks. EDIT: I downloaded...

Thanks a lot for that Strollin, that did the trick.

I did a factory reset a couple of months ago, most things turned out ok with the exception of this odd deal when saving something in 'Wordpad'. After saving text typed in Wordpad as .rtf extension in 'This PC'>Documents folder. I then open the file & it opens in Notepad & is all jumbled up. Does...

Since I rec'd no answers I decided to do a factory reset. I'm very glad I did. I didn't lose any of my custom created apps from popular websites & I had all my personal stuff on a USB flash drive. Now no problems until the next lot arrive!!

I have a Lenovo Yoga 3 Ultrabook pc. It came installed with Windows 8.1. I partitioned the (C:) drive, & installed W.10, & put W.8.1 on (D:) drive, (E:) drive being the backup. A couple of months ago I started getting a lot of freezing & the BSOD. Then everything started working ok again. Now it...

Thanks for that advice MirnaDorris. I went to Lenovo & downloaded the latest graphics driver & that has solved my problem. I love this forum!!

Thanks guys, I was actually referring to mail I have rec'd samuria. I'll check that out MilesAhead.

On Win.10 my email links are 'blued-out' & clickable. However, on my Win.8.1 they are not, is there anyway I can remedy this. It gets to be a pain to keep copying & pasting into a browser to see what the link is all about. Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks for answering RolandJS. Actually I somehow solved the problem & I don't quite know how. Weird things have been happening since I did a clean boot of W.8.1. & partitioned it with W.10. What I wanted to do in this instance was to change the friction necessary to scroll on a touch screen...

When I type 'regedit' in RUN, touch 'OK' & go into the 'Registry Editor' & select an item in the left column, nothing appears in the right column except, 'DEFAULT', etc. Any suggestions please!

I recently re-installed Windows 8.1, dual booted with W.10. I have a touch screen & something is happening that never happened before the re-installation. When I touch an opened app the screen magnifies. I don't have 'Magnifier' activated. I have to double tap the screen to reduce the size to...

Solved Thanks for the suggestion BlackVeils. Yes, I think you may have misunderstood. My Internet Explorer browser on the Start Screen was opening on the Desktop. I solved it by opening the Internet Explorer browser in the Desktop from the Task Bar. I selected the 'Settings' icon on the top...

File Explorer>Expand View tab>Options (on right) >Change folder & search options>Folder Options dialog box opens>Navigation Pane>Tick 'Show Libraries'. This will bring back the Libraries.

I have just recently dual booted W.10 along with my W.8.1. The email links in 8.1 have never been hyperlinked, (not even 'blued' out) & have never worked. However, the same links in identical emails in W.10 are hyperlinked, blued-out, & open IE just fine, so it's something wrong with W.8.1.

This is the only one that worked for me! Press the Windows key + W Type "services," and press Enter Scroll down to "Touch screen keyboard and handwriting panel" You can either right click and "Stop" or you can double-click and change it from "Automatic" startup to "Manual."

I have read & checked all the options for disabling the onscreen keyboard written by Shawn Brink in his tutorial: 'Onscreen Keyboard - Turn of or on in Windows 8'. However, the online keyboard is still opening & I don't need it. Is there possibly a method to use the keyboard keys to disable it...
