Does anyone know how to disable Metro, so it doesn't show at logon and have the normal start menu? Thanks.
You can also Rename/Delete shsxs.dll in System32 folder, Startscreen gone, old button back, but you the Startmenu has glitches
It's simple. Press Windows+R, type in gpedit.msc, navigate to "User Configuration"-->"Administrative Templates"-->"Start Menu and Taskbar" and set the "Do not show the Start Menu when the user logs in" policy to "Enabled".
If you do that does the windows key still open the Start screen? Because I would like to be able to use both!
That's my screen showing, but I changed it back to metro, because the catch is you disable RPE, no metro.
I will remain without to do modifications in OS....I experiented that on any OS even in Linux....let's keep clean OS..BTW is each man choise..
Is there anyway just how to enable old start menu and keep metro? I kinda like metro idea but no start menu makes my life a lot harder
Thanks for the tip, the metro interface (new start screen especially) isn't really made for PC users but more for phones, tablets and other gadgets with touch screen support, so I guess its nice to be able to directly login to the real desktop.
Guys, what's the point. You follow this, you disable most of the new features. No explorer ribbon, no new UI and no multi-monitor support. If you want a start menu, stick with 7.
it's a developper preview, we don't know if the metro interface will be keept in the beta / RTM so it's normal we want something more "desktop"
This! If you want something more desktop, don't install Windows 8. Stick with 7, no one is forcing you to upgrade. Just look at the people still on XP.
