Blue screen of death, wouldn't start etc.......  I managed to rescue it via Windows repair after a LOT of messing around, and although it is up and running and I didn't lose anything, there is just one thing that is really annoying me and I would like to know if it can be remedied.

I don't use ANYTHING that is on that Metro desktop, except Internet Explorer, so it all just seems a waste of time to me. Everything is difficult to get to, and doesn't make sense. I don't claim to be the most tech savvy person, but i'm not an idiot, even so I had to google how to shut the damn computer down!! So, I can't see me using this at all, and I am serio...
