    Nice list, you might want to put the two reg tweaks into Quotes or codes though

    Just one thing.
    If you want more Tiles, try this and Restart Explorer.
    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid] 
    "Layout_MaximumRowCount"=dword:0000010

    Great! Could you just explain how to add more rows of tiles to the Start screen? I did it, restarted, it started up with 5 rows, but in a second it went back to 4... What am I doing wrong?

    I can't really change how it functions, you can try to change the Value to your intended amount of Tiles, im not sure if it glitches, it doesn't here.
    Metro seems to have some serious issues with the DPI (unrelated to the Tweak),
    your resolution might also just not support more than these 4 Tiles afterall, as even with the tweak you can't force the amount of tiles how you want them.
    The function seems to be inside of twinui.dll, maybe someone will patch it at some point

    You can try this, but i don't know if it helps.

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid] 
    "Layout_MaximumRowCount"=dword:0000006
    "Grid_ForceDPI"=dword:0000000
    "TileLowDPIOverride"=dword:0000000
    "TileLowDPIOverride" is to actually get <less> Tiles when set to 1, so you have Big tiles on a high resolution, but you want more so set it to 0. (0 is default)
    "Grid_ForceDPI" can changes the spacing between the Tiles (0 or 76 is default)

    Here is a list of Entries in that key. (You don't really want to play with them)
    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid] 
    "Layout_MaximumRowCount"=dword:0000010
    "Grid_ForceDPI"=-
    "TileLowDPIOverride"=-
    "CacheEnabled"=-
    "Tile_AutoZoomEnterDelay"=-
    "Tile_AutoZoomLeaveDelay"=-
    "Tile_AutoScrollRegionWidth"=-
    "Tile_AutoScrollMinVelocity"=-
    "Tile_AutoScrollMaxVelocity"=-
    "Tile_AutoZoomRegionHeight"=-
    "Tile_AutoZoomEnterMaxDisplacement"=-
    "Tile_AutoZoomLeaveMaxDisplacement"=-
    "Tile_RearrangePreviewOffset"=-
    "GroupDropOutside_CancelDistance"=-
    "TileDropOutside_SameGroup_CancelDistance"=-
    "TileDropOutside_NotSameGroup_CancelDistance"=-
    "GroupCrossSlide_MaxVelocity"=-
    "TileCrossSlide_ShortThreshold"=-
    "TileCrossSlide_SpeedBumpThreshold"=-
    "TileCrossSlide_LongThreshold"=-
    "TileCrossSlide_MaxVelocity"=-
    "Tile_EnableReflowDuringRearrange"=-
    "Tile_ReflowDuringRearrangeDelay"=-
    "Tile_ReflowDuringRearrangeMaxVelocity"=-
    "Launcher_SessionLoginAnimation_OnShow"=-
    "Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cx"=-
    "Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cy"=-
    "Launcher_AnimationOffset_IndividualTower_Offset"=-
    "Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Dismiss"=-
    "LauncherGridControl_CompressedRetryTimer"=-
    "LauncherGridControl_EnableAutoZoom"=-
    "DesktopTile_ForceFallback"=-
    "Realization_RegionWidthScale"=-
    "Tile_EnableSelectionAnimation"=-

    I haven't added them yet as they are not directly from Microsoft thanks though.
