Charms

The Windows Charms is a feature of Windows 8 which provides access to Windows Search, Sharing, Start menu, Devices, and Settings. The menu appears when the mouse cursor is positioned at the top-right or bottom-right corner of the Windows 8 GUI, or the keyboard shortcut Windows key + C is pressed. In the following picture, the black bar along the right side is an example of what the Windows Charms bar looks like when opened.
