    Running Internet Explorer and overnight the only IE mode I see is desktop? When I try and open it in the metro/start screen it still defaults to the desktop version of IE. I'm guessing I did this accidentally. How can I use enable the touch mode again?

    Launch Internet Explorer > Gear icon > Internet options > Programs tab. Under the "Choose how you open links" dropdown, select "Always in Internet Explorer" or "Let Internet Explorer decide."

    You may also want to uncheck "Open Internet Explorer tiles on the desktop" if you want IE tiles to open in Metro mode.

    Both are grayed out - I can't change either of them. ?
