How to change number of row tiles in windows 8


By default, Windows 8 will try to figure out the number of rows it should show on your Start Screen based on the resolution of your monitor. 

What if you don’t want the number of rows it determines?

 Well, you can change it to a different value if you like. As you can see, I decided to show you 1,2 and 3 rows. You can choose a value from 1 to 5.

Go to Regedit or the registry editor.

 Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid




Create a new DWORD value here and name it Layout_MaximumRowCount. Give it a value between 1 and 5. Enjoy!

Delete Files From The Recent File List In Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player (WMP) is a built-in application that allows you to play multimedia files. Like many other applications, WMP remembers the most recently played files and displays them in the Recent File List under the File menu. This feature is useful if you regularly play certain files, but you may want to clear the list if you share the computer and a user account or create archives and CDs.


You can manually delete the list through the Windows Registry:
1. Start the Windows Registry Editor, regedit.exe, by typing regedit in the Windows Run Command Line.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentFileList.
3. Delete the RecentFileList subkey.
4. If you've also streamed content from the Internet, you can delete the RecentURLList subkey.
5. Exit the Registry Editor.
6. Restart the computer.
To keep certain files in the list, don't delete the entire key. Deleting individual entries within the key will get rid of the files that you no longer want in the Recent File List.
That's all for today folks.Thanks for reading and if you like the post feel free to comment and share..........
