Thank you very much. I found a page online that describes how to make Windows 8.1 start into the Desktop. Maybe this is how I will set it up. It is strange (or odd to me) that the IE that you bring from the Metro desktop is very different than IE in the Desktop mode.
>It's the same task bar as in Windows 7. By default it sits at the bottom of the screen. You can add programs to it. In Windows 8, it only exists on the desktop.

>>Thank you. What is 'taskbar' in Windows 8?
