<h3>
Customize the lock screen with photo slideshows</h3>
Windows 8 allowed users to set a specific photo to their lock screen,
 but Windows 8.1 kicks the customization level up a notch by allowing 
photo slideshow capabilities from the lock screen. To get started, go to
 the Start Screen.<br />
If you’re on a device with a touchscreen, swipe from the right edge 
to the left of your screen to activate the Charms Bar. If your device 
has a mouse and keyboard, set the mouse cursor in the top-right corner 
of your display.<br />
From there, click or tap the Settings charm represented by the cog at
 the bottom of the Charms Bar. Click or tap Change PC Settings. It's 
like the new Control Panel. Under the PC Settings app, click or tap the 
first option on the left called PC and Devices in the menu. You then 
want to click or tap Lock Screen.<br />
Finally, tap or click on the switch called "Play A Slide show on the 
Lock screen" to turn on lock screen slide shows. You'll then want to 
click or tap the " + icon" to add a folder with the slideshow photos. 
Use the file picker to select the photos. And - voila! That's it.<br />
If you’d like to have your device auto-show pictures in Sky Drive 
folder, click or tap "This PC and select Sky-drive" from the drop down 
menu, and then click or tap Choose folder to select an entire folder of 
photos. You can also select each photo by clicking or tapping on them.<br />
Remember: Windows 8.1 will auto-sync these options to any PC or device using the same Microsoft Account.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Move Sky-drive folder</h3>
Microsoft has crucially integrated Sky-drive into Windows 8.1, 
enabling file sync to be by default. You can also manage it from PC 
Settings (sans a separate app). Previously, within the Sky-drive desktop 
app, you could configure where Sky-drive synced its files, but this 
capability was thought to be lost in Windows 8.1 However, it isn't.<br />
Go to PC Settings, of course. When under PC Settings, right-click on Sky-drive in the navigation pane. From there, select Properties and then 
Location tab. To change the location, you'll only have to click the Move
 button and designate a new location. <br />
<h3>
Save to One Drive(Sky Drive)</h3>
Do you want all of your applications to save to your Sky-drive folder 
by default? Just open the Change PC Settings screen, and then choose Sky-drive. From there, all you have to do is make sure the relevant 
setting is switched to On in the Files tab.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Open IE tabs from other PCs</h3>
Have you ever wanted to open up Internet Explorer 11 tabs on other 
PCs? Well with Windows 8.1 you can. In fact, this feature is only 
available in the final shipping version of Windows 8.1.<br />
Just open a new IE tab window, and then look for the names of your 
other PCs at the bottom of the page. To see all the synced tabs from a 
PC, click the PC name. All available sites will show up in a drop-down 
menu, which you can click to view on the current PC.<br />
To see all the synced tabs from IE 11 mobile, tap the Tabs button in 
IE 11's app bar, and then tap the PC name in the top-left of the 
interface to view a list of the available PCs. You'll then want to 
select one from the list.<br />
<h3>
Faster shutdown</h3>
Windows 8.1 has the same shortcut menu when you right-click in the 
bottom left-hand corner of the desktop. But Microsoft has added some new
 options in the OS upgrade. Examples include being able to shutdown the 
system or log out of your account. Previously, users had to shutdown 
through the Settings charm.<br />
Stay tuned for more tips and tricks. We'll continue to update this list as we dig deeper into Windows 8.1.<br />
