Show app commands
Swipe up from the bottom or down from the top edge
of the screen, then choose the command you want.
Commands can also appear when you swipe down on
or right-click an item like a tile or photo. Another way
to show app commands is by tapping two fingers
anywhere on the Touch Cover or Type Cover trackpad.
For example: Open the Weather app from the Start
screen, then swipe up from the bottom edge of the
screen (or down from the top) to see the options for
the Weather app.

For example: To change your Internet Explorer settings, open Internet Explorer from the Start screen, open the
Setting charm, and then tap or click Internet Options.
Get help with an app
When you're in an app, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap or click Settings, then tap or click Help.

Settings charm.)
