How do I deselect the box "open internet files on the desktop", to allow me to open tiles only in METRO view?

At some point or another I clicked "allow" for my firefox to cease opening windows in the app view of my Microsoft Surface Pro. They currently are only opening on the desktop view. How do i switch this back to the app view?

I'm sorry, but I tried what you said, but it did not work and I dont see how changing the pop-up configuration should affect my use of the firefox app. However, i do not understand much at all about this !
Let me rephrase my problem: even from the tiled start screen, if i click on the app icon, it brings me back to my desktop. I much prefer the app version of fire fox. The desktop view is hard to read because everything is tiny and i cant swipe to change between firefox screens.
Does this make sense at all?
With internet explorer it was as simple as Settings>internet options>programs> uncheck the box titled "open internet explorer tiles on desktop".

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • How do I change the desktop Icon for an external hard drive?  I have gone to "Get Info" and tried dragging and dropping  several formats of pictures and the icon changes to the generic image of that file type.

    how can I change the desktop icon for an external hard drive.  Using LaCies and Dimple hard drives.

    One of the things I've found with OS X (at least with Snow Leopard, which is my first excursion into OS X), is that all too often the thumbnail displayed on a file, whether a file created or one downloaded, is a false thumbnail. That is, when you do a Get Info on the file the icon in the upper left is the generic icon for that file type, rather than the thumbnail displayed in Finder. Makes it a bit difficult to copy.
    Apparently Finder uses Preview in the background to generate the displayed thumbnail without actually creating one.
    What I've resorted to doing, particularly with graphic images, is to process them with GraphicConverter - I have its prefs set to automatially add thumbnails and previews. With an individual file this means opening it in GC and doing a Save As. However, a much easier and faster way is when there are two or more such files; I put them in a common folder and drop the folder onto GC. GC then opens them in a catalog view, in the process adding real thumbnails and previews to each automatically. Doesn't take long to do several hundred files that way.

    how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
    Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

  • How can we hide the Desktop when Dashboard is invoked?

    Widgets do not display elegantly against a cluttered desktop, nor even against a clean desktop with a busy photo for wallpaper.
    Is there any kind of preference (or etc.) that would cause the Desktop always to go hidden (go black, go solid color, intensely darken or etc.) whenever Dashboard is invoked?
    In other words, how can we stop the Desktop from "bleeding through" the display of our widgets?
    Many thanks.

    Hi ChicagoLarry,
    No way in the system I know of.
    I found this Desktopple Pro widget on this site. I haven't tried it myself and am not a fan of haxies, so use at your own risk.
    EDIT:
    Actually the reviews on MacUpdate are quite positive. There is also a free version Desktopple 1.1

  • How can I use the desktop gmail instead of mobile?

    How can I use the desktop gmail on iPad2 -
    instead of the mobile version or app?

    Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen in the mobile site. There is (or at least there used to be) a link to the standard site.
    Really, though, the experience through the Gmail app is much better.
    Best of luck.

  • How can u change the desktop and taskbar to a classic windows view

    how can u change the desktop and taskbar to a classic windows view in 8.1

    Hi,
    If you mean to customize the desktop, you can use themes, desktop backgrounds, window colors, and screen savers to personalize your desktop.   
    If you want some free themes and desktop backgrounds to use, there are lots to choose from in the
    Personalization Gallery.
    To learn more about personalizing the desktop, see
    Get started with themes.
