Hello.

I just got windows 8 installed and im having a slight issue.

Clearly, Win8 did not have older touchscreen panels in mind when it designed the gestures. What i mean specifically is the side swipe (for to bring up the start button) and touchscreens with bezels. I have to piratically jam my finger against the bezel on the right side and hope its "off screen" enough for my swipe to register as wanting that menu instead of scrolling to the side.

Is there anyway to increase the area of the screen that registers as a "side swipe menu call" to more than a few millimeters on the edge of the screen? Im sure newer touchscreen that will be Win8 certified wont even have a bezel so you can just start the swipe off screen (like phones and tablets).

Thanks
