Hi B Looney,

Thank you for your reply.

  1. Are you referring to mail app in Windows 8?
  2. Are you trying to use Windows Live mail instead of mail app?

Windows Live Mail.

    Click on the following link; when you are given the opportunity to install Essentials you will be able to select to download everything - includes moviemaker, writer, live mail, and some others - or you can choose to specify which of the applications to install, in which case you can just select Live Mail. Once Live Mail is installed, if it didn't put an icon on your desktop or pin Live Mail to the Start Screen, then just do a search for "Windows Live Mail" and it will appear as one of the search results

    • directly below where you typed in "Windows Live Mail". At this point you can right click the icon and Pin to Start and Pin to Taskbar. Or you can just launch Windows Live Mail by left clicking.

    ....by "Reading" App, I meant the "News" App... and Windows 8 handles multi monitors very well; multi monitors work very well with the Desktop/StartScreen  dichotomy.

    Well they printed it but I'm not going to bother reading it. As long as it is it needs nice structure and introduction etc so we know whether to invest out time reading it...perhaps write an abstract and then follow it up with your spaghetti code writing.

    I don't know how many people say they want their old XP back...they loose credibility immediately. I went back and got my old XP computer back up and running; nice in its day but Windows 8 is soooo fast, easily configures with the hardware, reliable, does a brilliant job of Sleep, Hibernate, and I love to use the Reading App, Weather App and several of the other Start screen Apps in conjunction with the Desktop environment. I Loveeeeeee  OneNotes.

    Windows 8 has me totally addicted and I have a hard time turning it off....Its a better Windows 7.

    The question is will anyone take the time to read all of your post.

    You may make some valid points, but if you cannot take the time to post without using all caps, then why should anyone take the time to read your post?
