    Alrite, thx, perfect. If both classic shell and this trick still work in RTM, I'm all set and ready for W8! ;)

    Didn't I just mention that above? "Put a shortcut to any Show Desktop command at startup". However that doesn't disable Metro, it boots to Metro first, then shows the desktop.

    There is a Classic Shell skin on AskVG.com now available to make it look exactly like the Windows 7 Start Menu. Google for it.
