1. To know which apps are running / open in background, move your mouse to the extreme, upper, left corner of the screen until you see a thumbnail of your running app. Right-click on the thumbnail and click Close.

2. To minimize just press window key to reach start menu or window+D to reach desktop

3. To switch between metro apps press window+tab

4. Google before you post

Humm...

I am aware of the Shortcut keys ! But the question is why on earth should I use a shortcut key to do things ?? Why I simply cannot use my mouse instead.

The mouse gestures are not responsive at all, even if I take my mouse pointer towards the left the sidebar or whatever it is called never comes out with the running apps listed.

Its not easy to use with Mouse and Keyboard.

I needn't google for everything like you !! :grin: Or you should have asked Microsoft to include GOOGLE as HELP for Windows 8

guys use Entropay, its safe. it will cost a little more, but will get the job done. just transfer $20~ Rs 1060 from your debit card to the entropay account. when you create an entropay account you will get a Credit card number, CCV number, expiry date etc, just like a normal CC. you can use this to buy in $, Rs etc. it cost me $13.3 ~Rs 712 to get windows 8 .

P.S:- look at the exchange rate before transferring.

hey, transferring 20/40 $ to entropay deducts ~5% of their processing fee from my bank and fills 20/40$ in entropay card or it deducts 20/40$ from bank and fills (20/40 -5%) amount to entropay card ?

Took Off!!!
^^ it fills exactly $20/40, processing fee will be 4.95% of $20/40, so total amount deducted will be $20.99/41.98
