    Patching the signature check and clearing the VSCache folder seems it finally loaded a unsigned theme.:)

    Use Windows + d to go to the desktop.

    I do not know about others but after installing windows 8 cp on main partition, dual partition, and vhd; I will be avoiding this till the time this becomes RC or RTM. Or I am willing to go only with windows 8 from beta all the way to RTM. The main problem is the chkdsk errors a lot of times when I boot into windows 7. This has happened in all three types of installs and chkdsk has not found errors. Although chkdsk does not require deleting partitions, this has given me a lot of headaches, and to remove all signs of WCP, I have had to delete all the internal hard disks (4), then restore my acronis windows 7 image, recreate partitions, and then move the data back to the hard disks.

    Anyone else has had this problem and what is the solution. I am more confident that windows 8 is the only system on both laptop and desktop and all hard disks (external and internal) are normalised with win 8, this chkdsk problem may not occur.

    I too had the chkdsk problem on an xp-cp dual booter. No errors are found but both OS's wanted to chkdsk on almost every reboot, most annoying. I finally gave up and got rid of xp on this particular machine, now the problem is gone.

    Can I PM you say after 1 week to find out if chkdsk has recurred if your sole OS is win cp. I am keen to give wcp a go but this problem and the hassle of chkdsk has made me very wary of dual booting 7 and WCP. If I go with wcp only, I think I may have to go with wcp on both desktop and laptop (main usage is desktop and laptop data is usually sourced from desktop thru syncback/external disks).

    Sure. IIRC, I removed xp around 3 days ago.

    if you want to stop this annoying CHKDSK message at every startup, open registry editor then locate this key:
    Code:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Session Manager 
    in the right pane, double click "BootExecute" in the "Value Data" field remove the existing entry then put this:
    Code:
     autocheck autochk /k:C * 
    you can change the letter C with the appropriate drive letter where the problem occur

    True but we can use wordpad and paint from vista. I also came across following little app which disables ribbon in windows 8 cp explorer without breaking paint and wordpad:
