It all covers how to revert to the traditional desktop, plus how to combine features of the two interfaces. · Keyboard shortcuts - virtually every action that can be done with a mouse can also be done with a keyboard – and very often more quickly. If you run Windows 8 without a touch screen you will find yourself employing keyboard shortcuts much more frequently than before.

This book demonstrates how to use Windows 8 search tools to eliminate this issue. · Facts and figures - how to get specific types of information, e.g. statistics that will enable you to monitor the health of your system. The apps supplied by Windows 8 provide another source of useful information; for example, the weather app provides current local weather conditions that are updated in real-time. There are many other types of app that do the same thing and this book takes a look at these apps and how to configure them. · Home Entertainment Centre - how to build a Home Entertainment Centre round a Windows 8 PC and how you can use your PC as a TV/Video Recorder. · Gaming is another popular computer pastime and this book will teach you how to create virtual discs of your games and play them on a virtual DVD Player for increased game performance. · Synchronizing data - many people these days use several computing devices so the book shows how you can synchronize your data across several devices and how you can take your OS and software wherever you go and use it on any PC. Other tips include; how to efficiently organize data, how to run previous Windows versions within Windows 8, creating custom toolbars and much more. · Privacy and Security - how to keep your computing activities private as well as highlighting the ways in which you can unwittingly reveal what you’ve been doing, the programs you’ve been using, websites you’ve accessed, etc. The book then demonstrates how to conceal your computing activities from prying eyes to ensure complete anonymity.
