It’s easy to set up a Desktop shortcut to open a new e-mail message quickly. You can then use the shortcut on your “Quick Launch Toolbar” and create a Keyboard Shortcut.
In Outlook 2013, new, unread messages are in a bold blue color in your inbox. If you want to change the color back to black it can be done using “View Setting” and “Conditional Formatting”.
In the new “File Explorer” (previously called “Windows Explorer), where you view the list of files/folders on your computer, there is now a “Ribbon” filled with commands just like the Office Programs (Word, Outlook, Excel, etc.).
Each section of the Ribbon is divided into Tabs. The Tabs will change depending on what is selected in File Explorer. For example, when you click on “Documents” under “Library”, the “Library Tools” tab will become available.
If you have a computer running Windows 8 it will come with Internet Explorer 10 installed. When you perform a search on the internet it will use Bing as the search provider. If you would like to change the settings it’s not as simple as it used to be. Follow instructions below to change your search provider.
In Windows 8 “Windows Explorer” (where you view the list of files on your computer) is now called “File Explorer” and it looks a little different. When you open your folders in “Documents” and then you open a sub folder/location, the view may be different.
Standardize the “View Type” (or Layout). We recommend you choose a view that you are most comfortable with (most people prefer details or icons). The “Detail” view will allow you to see more folders on one page than other available views.
