Call Paint in Windows 8

If you call up the installed apps via the Windows tile, Paint is not listed. Instead, you have to start the tool elsewhere:

1. Switch to the tile view and enter the term "Paint" in the search.
2. Windows will then search your PC for the program. The first hit shows you the desired tool.
3. If you click the "Paint" entry with the right mouse button, you can attach the software to the taskbar and to "Start". This will help you find the software more quickly later.
