I can't make the Homegroup Icon show on my desktop in Windows 8, how do I do so?
location:
microsoft.com - date:
January 21, 2013
I am unable to make the Homegroup Icon or the Libaries Icon show up in desktop mode on Windows 8. In all other ways Windows 8 acts as if they are there; they who up when I look at the desktop as a folder, they take up spots on the grid. I am wanting them
to show. I would rather they be something I can move, but if not I'd still rather be able to see them then have them hidden.

Sharing files between Windows 7 and Windows 8 in a homegroup
location:
7forums.com - date:
October 6, 2012
Hello
I'm quite frustrated after trying to share files between my Windows 8 PC and Windows 7 Laptop. Sharing files between Windows 7 PC and laptop was flawless.
I tried creating a homegroup in Windows 7, joined it from Windows 8, when I tried to open shared files, it gave permission error. I've disabled password protection on both PC. Tried adding HomeGroupUsers$ in Advanced persmissions of folder sharing, still the same.
Tried other way round too i.e created a homegroup in Windows 8 and joined it from Windows 7. Still the same issue of permission.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

windows 8 how do I get rid of the metro app?
location:

January 5, 2013
Happy New Year. My old computer's HD crashed badly. Needed a new laptop. It came with Windows 8. I never use the metro app. It is disgusting and wasteful and a real hassle to circumnavigate. How do I eliminate this app from Windows 8? I'm serious. Thanks.
