[NJARC] Today it ends!

[Harry Klancer]

For us troglodytes who don't want to give up
our desktops (like me). I bought a machine with
win 8.1 and no touchscreen. There is a setting
that makes it always boot into a desktop
window - looks and acts pretty much like win 7.
I don't have to go into the 'tiles' unless
I want to - which is almost never.

The lesson: Look carefully at the windows settings.
