| 1359201 | 2013-12-12 02:08:00 | Personally As long as they still have the options to have the tiled start, I'll be using that, mainly to pin programs I use, instead of having the desktop cluttered in shortcuts. No big deal to press the windows key, then click. When they bring back the old start menu, ( which will mean it boots to desktop and looks like W7 )I guess all the people who wanted it back will have to find something else to whinge about :p Just curious, and totally non-judgmental, but wondering why the taskbar is a fail for shortcuts for you? |

Maybe the same reason I don't use the taskbar for shortcuts either - often having a wide and varied amount of programs open at one time along with shortcuts would clutter it - especially as pinning *everything* would neither be practical nor would there be enough space. |

| 1359204 | 2013-12-12 04:52:00 | Just curious, and totally non-judgmental, but wondering why the taskbar is a fail for shortcuts for you? On Mine, I dont have many at all on the taskbar. I have a couple of shortcuts that I use all the time on the desktop, several more on the start screen that get used regurally, but not daily, and the rest are either in a folder called shortcuts, or I open them from the "second layer" on the start screen ( W8.1) I think we have all seen peoples desktops with more shortcuts than clear space :) To me that always looks untidy, and to be honest its a wonder some people can find anything. In W7 and below, Personally I hardly use the menu/all programs and lets be honest places like the Control panel, how often do you really go into it. If its a lot, then you can soon make a shortcut to it in W8.X The closest I go into the start menu ( W7 etc) a lot is devices and printers to change the default printer from a Laser to PDF, even thats got a shortcut to it on the desktop. On my W7 PC's I have ObjectDock with all the shortcuts I use 99% of the time ( mail, Browsers, Lan locations ,Accounting package, One Note - To do lists daily ). |

Having progs open on the win8 taskbar doesn't take extra space. There is room for around 34 shortcuts so that is enough for my most used progs. Admittedly I have a rarely used 'Programs' folder on the desktop plus a few other desktop shortcuts as well! |
