How do you uninstall Windows 8 apps that are not on the start screen?

But if I have previously chosen “Unpin from Start” for an app, so that the app is no longer on the start screen, then how can I uninstall it?

How do I use different audio devices for different apps in Windows 8?

Besides switching the default audio device, how can I send the audio from one app (say x-box music) to one audio device, and another (say the video app) to another audio device?

Edit:

Looking further, I found this: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/APP-408TAt 16:16, he demonstrates exactly what I’m wanting to do,…

Install a Windows 8 Modern UI app without the Windows Store

How do I go about installing a Modern UI/Metro app without using the native Windows Store app on Windows 8?

I don’t know if it’s even possible or if it is, how the app even gets installed from the Windows Store in such cases.

Can I select which folders the Photos live tile chooses from?

The built-in Photos app in Windows 8 has a live tile on the start screen that shows photos from your pictures library. It’s a cool little visual, even if it’s not particularly useful.

The problem is that a lot of image files on my computer are not really photosper se I have a lot of screenshots, PNGs of technical drawings, graph…

Getting desktop (not Metro) Skype for Windows 8

I have Windows 8, and I want regular Skype, not Metro Skype. Metro Skype doesn’t support many features that the desktop version does, and it’s buggy.

I tried to go to http://beta.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/. When I hit “Get Skype for Windows 8,” I’m redirected to the Windows Store to install Metro Skype.

How can I download and…
