										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve installed the Windows 8 preview and don&#8217;t really care for all the default apps listed on the Metro UI. Here&#8217;s how to add/remove apps on the Metro UI menu for Windows 8.</p>
<h3>Remove Apps From Metro UI</h3>
<hr />
<ul>
<li>At the Metro UI menu screen, right-click on an app. For this example we chose &#8216;Treehouse Stampede&#8217;. You&#8217;ll notice the app box is framed in a border with a check mark located in the upper right-hand corner of the border and in the lower right-hand corner of the screen are three options.</li>
<li>Click on &#8216;Unpin&#8217; to remove the app from your Metro UI.<br />
<img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1471" title="Windows 8 Metro UI Unpin Apps" alt="Windows 8 Metro UI Unpin Apps" src="https://geekitdown.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/win8-metro-ui-apps-3.jpg" width="350" height="263" /></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Add Apps To Metro UI</h3>
<hr />
<ul>
<li>First you need to find the App. At the Metro UI screen start typing out the name of the app, for example if you installed Firefox you would type firefox.<br />
<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1463" title="Windows 8 Metro UI Search Apps" alt="Windows 8 Metro UI Search Apps" src="https://geekitdown.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/win8-metro-ui-apps-4.png" width="350" height="263" /></li>
<li>When the Firefox icon and label appear on the screen, right-click it. You&#8217;ll notice the app box is framed in a border with a check mark located in the upper right-hand corner of the border and in the lower right-hand corner of the screen are two options.</li>
<li>Click &#8216;Pin&#8217; in the lower right-hand corner.<br />
<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" title="Windows 8 Metro UI Pin Apps" alt="Windows 8 Metro UI Pin Apps" src="https://geekitdown.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/win8-metro-ui-apps-2.png" width="350" height="263" /></li>
<li>Press the Windows key to go back to the main Metro UI menu and you will see Firefox added on the far right.<br />
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1465" title="Windows 8 Metro UI Pinned Apps" alt="Windows 8 Metro UI Pinned Apps" src="https://geekitdown.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/win8-metro-ui-apps-1.png" width="350" height="263" /></li>
</ul>
<p>By default all apps are sent to the far right of the Metro UI menu for newly pinned. Apps can be rearranged according to your preferences.
