Return to the Start Screen of Windows 8/8.1 to erlier conditions
Windows 8/8.1 has the look of the Start Screen that is different from earlier versions of Windows. On the Metro or Modern UI mode, the application that is installed is displayed in the form of Tile. But what if the display is already too much and you want to return it to original condition? For that you can do the following simple steps:
1. go to the look of the Desktop, open the Window Explorer, and type the following commands in the address bar%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows.
Or it could be by directly pressing the Windows key + R to go to the Run dialog box, and type%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows.
2. in this folder you will find two files, namely appsFolder.-ms itemdata and appsFolder.-p. itemdata bak. If you want to return to the Start Screen display the initial conditions in Windows 8/8.1, you delete the two files reside. Next restart.
3. you can also save the two files to a different folder if one time it wants to return to the Start Screen display. How to restore it just put the two files into the folder again.
Remove the Tile will not remove (uninstall) the application. Existing applications will not be lost and remain there. If you want to uninstall the application completely, you can do it Uninstall through Control Panel.
