How do I go about associating an email program to the snipping tool in Windows 8. When I try to send the snip via email I get the message that an email program is not associated with it.

I have a number of items pinned to the taskbar. It would appear that some of these are duplicates of some invisible items which I cannot track down. Displaying the properties of these items shows the item name followed by (2). Any attempt to change the name back to the original gets: Do you want to rename "Firefox.lnk(2)" to "Firefox.lnk(3)". Not a train smash, just puzzling and annoying.

When I click on the METRO TILE MAIL and the interface is presented along with my mail I can...

Hi, Does anyone know how to change the order of the favorites in IE Metro? They are not in the same order that they are in the desktop version, and I don't see any means of changing their order in metro. Even the pinned sites don't seem to appear in the same order that I have them on the start menu. Thanks
