How do you make a tile category? Unless by Tile Category you mean collecting a set of apps that you use for a specific purpose or under specific situations (like in your example, on the plane) within one group. Thanks in advance.+1
I travel a lot, and made a tile category called 'Flying.' It's where I put all the apps that I can use on the plane, w/o wifi - iTunes, Kindle, Video Player, Zinio, etc.
From the Start Menu pinch your tile groups to minimize them, select the group you want to name, swipe up from bottom and then select Name group. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/rearrange-tiles-startHow do you make a tile category?
One thing about Windows is there are many ways to do any one operation. Using a mouse I just drag the tiles into groups and then click on the - sign in the lower right corner. Then I can hover over any group, right click and give it a name.How do you make a tile category?
