If you then remove any apps that you don't use and only use the all apps command when you need something out of the ordinary its all good. I am going to create a folder in the C drive and call it start menu and chuck all the folders off the desk to in that then pin each to the start menu which will give me a spotless desktop .

I made a folder and named it utils then copied a couple of executeables in that folder. I then pinned it to start.
Pressed Windows key to get to metro environment and the folder was there. However, when I click the folder, it leaves metro and opens the folder in the Windows explorer showing the files.
I could of just as easily put the folder on the desktop and opened it from there. Absolutely no point putting the folder on the metro environment
