Hi there,
if you meant to set windows to automatically go to desktop instead of the start screen first go to the desktop and right click on the taskbar (Bottom bit where programs shortcuts are) and click properties.
Next got to "Navigation" and under "start screen" look for "When I sign or close all application on a screen, go to the desktop instead of start" select the box and click ok.
Hope it helped
