Personalizing your HP TouchSmart Software

Moving tiles around

When you open the HP TouchSmart software, you will see large and small tiles, which are shortcuts to various programs in HP TouchSmart and links to various Web sites. Use the upper, large tile area for programs you use often, and use the lower, small tile area to store the rest of your program shortcuts.

You can easily move these tiles around by pressing a tile and dragging it to a new location in the window. The tile appears as a transparent image while you are moving it. You can move the large tiles down to the small tile area or the small tiles up to the large tile area. You can also move the tiles sideways by dragging a tile out of a row, and then dropping it in a new location.
