Solved Put admin apps in local account and can't remove

[glennc]

Hello,
Just updated to 8.1. Still undecided. Specifically I somehow managed to get the admin apps shown on the was M$ account, now my local account start page. I can not figure out how to get rid of them. I hope someone with more experience can guide me.
Also can not figure out how to put the admin apps in my admin account.
Thanks for all assistance!

Hello Glenn,

Please go ahead and post a screenshot of this to see if it may help to ID the issue.

Do you mean the Administrative Tools on the Start screen by chance?

Yes Sir, Brink! I did mean on the Start screen and I can't figure out how to get the snipping tool to work there. It is definitely in my User account, standard privileges, not in my Administrator account....... Boy am I running slow, sorry I didn't even notice the link, duh!
Thank you as I am sure this will be completely relevant and exactly what I need, as always!

You could use the new Snapshots feature in Windows 8 to capture a screenshot of the Start screen.

In addition, you should be able to also use the old Print Screen key.
