I have no touch screen. I just used the Metro Control Panel to change my login user tile image.
There's no easy way back to the "normal" desktop, save to drag the mouse to the left edge of the screen and click on the Thumbnail of the desktop when it comes up. This isn't as easy as on a real computer since I'm running Windows 8 Preview in
a VM.
Why doesn't the Escape key work to dismiss the control panel?
