What do you need on the Start screen on Windows Server 2012?


Control panel?  File Explorer?  Browser?  Office?

A couple of options. The Remote Desktop client in Win8 has options for 
“Charms”, “Start” etc. backed into the client. It’s under the mstsc icon in the 
top-left.

Control Panel is also accessible from the Charms menu, or indirectly from 
Server Manager

File Explorer is pinned to the Task Bar by default

Browser – not sure you want to be running that on a server

Office. Seriously?!? I could understand why you might want to run Win2k12 as a 
desktop and have office. But generally when you remote into a server, it’s not 
your desktop – it’s an actual server you wouldn’t be running Office on it.
