The new update for the Microsoft OS was released a few days ago , as was formerly included some new improvements , including the return of Home button was gone for a while , the integration of Skype or Repair overall , what is clear is that some of the new improvements not like some users, so you are four tricks to enhance your experience.
 
Log directly to your desktop
 
This is one of the new features of Windows 8.1, which is the ability to boot to the desktop , for which the configuration of the desktop taskbar on the Navigation tab find a series of checkboxes that among other geese us allow to show our wallpaper on the home screen , or do that when we show directly initiate session desk lifetime.
 
windows- 8.1
 
Lost libraries
 
When we open the file browser of the classic desktop , looks at a hearing a few folders , and our unit ( as if combined folder User and Team ) , which meant a bit annoying but even for the faithful users this feature.
 
To easily change the configuration file browser , follow these steps:
 
Open the file browser
We go to the "View" tab in the Ribbon
Click on the "Options" button
Activate the last checkbox, labeled " Show Libraries"
From that moment we can access libraries , and as such will be Windows 7 functionality .
 
Use your computer as a digital frame
 
When your computer is turned on, we can make the lock screen in a series of images shown with mounts that are performed on the fly, we need to activate this feature , follow these steps:
 
Open the charms bar ( Windows + C).
Press Settings.
Click on " Change settings for the PC" .
Click on the large image with a representation of our lock screen.
Activate the switch that says " Show a presentation on the lock screen ."
We select the folder where the images you want to put in the presentation are .
The rest I can set depending on how you want.
 
Synchronize your reading list between devices.
 
One of the simple but very powerful functions including Windows 8 is the " Reading List " which allows you to add links so we can access them later.
 
The downside is that this feature is not enabled by default , so you may not synchronize with the cloud , for which we have to enable synchronization of data and application settings with SkyDrive.
 
The steps we follow are:
 
Access the System Settings
Click on SkyDrive
Press synchronization settings
And mark the switch " Application Data " .
 
 
Thus all applications have this API can automatically synchronize information between the devices connected to our Microsoft account .
