Windows 8: Right-click lower left hot corner
Windows 8.1: Right-click Start button



6. If you go to the All-Apps screen most programs have different colors - just Pin to Start.

I'm not saying you cant do it, Im saying Windows 8 made it difficult to do common things so they could put your focus on their apps instead of doing the things you need to do. How is the average home user going to know how to press Win + E? Why should I have to clutter my desktop with shortcuts because the OS is cumbersome to use?

And most programs do not have different colors, when you add your own programs they are all the same color and Windows doesnt allow you to change it. Just like in that screen shot I showed.

So if you want a good looking screen but want your programs to be easy to find you cant have them both.
