It can be useful to display the list of administrative tools right on the Windows 8 start screen.

This is not enabled by default but to display them :

1. Go to Windows 8 start screen and invoke Settings charm by pressing Windows key + I. (A list of Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts can be found here.)

2. Select Tiles and drag the slider to “Yes” under “Show administrative tools”.

From now on, the list of administrative tools will be directly accessible from Windows 8 start screen.

Cheers.
