3. Tiles are links to applications that have been pinned to the start menu for quick access. Some default applications are pinned to the start menu for you, but you can easily pin additional applications by right clicking on the application and choosing “Pin to Start Menu”. This will create a new tile for that application. On Windows 10, items pinned to the task bar will not stay while using FollowMe Desktop (FMD) and will not follow you to new devices when using physical machines. We suggest you do not pin any items to the , but create tiles for your frequently used applications, and access them via the start menu.
