    Anyone looking to access the traditional control panel, then u can do this from the explorer ribbon.

    Read again, you can not disable UAC in the GUI but need to use the reg tweak... but this will break Metro.
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    Hybrid Boot only works when you "Shutdown" your pc, restarting will not use this feature to boot up faster.

    windows + R, msconfig, go to the Tools tab then go to Change UAC settings. Launch it then drag the slider to "Never notify"

    Also, still looking for a way to get multiple monitors working on an nvidia laptop gpu.

    This does NOT deactivate UAC....... for gods sake how often do i have to repeat myself? UAC is still active on "never notify", nothing is started as full Administrator automatically with this setting.

    Does anybody with touch screen have the following problem: while scrolling both in Metro and desktop applications the picture is twitches, it doesn't scrolls smooth? The problems appeared in WCP, I've never seen this in WDP...

    i think i found a shutdown bug, if u change ur power button to shutdown and u press on the physical power button(on ur CPU) to shutdown, it won't do a fast shutdown/ fast boot instead it will do something like the old shutdown and old slow boot. however if u press CTRL+alt+del or choose power from charm menu and do a shutdown, it will do a fast shutdown and fast boot when u start up the pc, can someone try this and confirm it to me

    Found a work around for the icons not being restored after a reboot. Make sure you refresh the desktop a few times....

    second thing. Any of you guys installing a virus scanner? I have a ESET subscription but I am not sure if this is still usefull with windows 8 ?

    Im using AVAST internet security and it works just fine on W8 8250. Not trusting Defender at all - it deleted some .exe files for me already which i definitely know wasnt virus.
