If you download a lot of apps from the Windows 8 Store, install your own programs, and pin those programs to the Metro Start screen, the screen can become a mess. However, you can group tiles on the Metro Start screen and label those groups.

After installing software, here's what our Metro screen looks like. It's a jumble of programs, and as we install more programs, it'll only get worse. The tiles seem to be in two groups, but not necessarily how we would organize them.

To move a tile into a new group, drag the tile to an empty space between the current groups until you see a gray bar. Release the mouse button to drop the tile into its own group. Move additional tiles into the group by dragging them onto the current tiles in the group.
