    It will still work and show up when moving the cursor down from the tip right corner, it just won't pop up every time you hit the corner.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\EdgeUI]
"DisableCharmsHint"=dword:00000001

    I was looking for something like this. It's not too bad, but those charms are useless anyways.

    Is there any way to do this with the bottom left one? The right click menu is useful, but its annoying to have it pop up right away when you intend to click on the start menu if you have one installed.

    In Classic Shell you could disable the Start Menu Buttom ans you could "adjust" many more. Classic Shell is highly configurable and works very well in Windows 8.

    Same applies for the Charms, just to mention that as well.

    I'm using classic shell, but it either disables the bottom left one, or it enables it. It doesn't allow you the option of having it enabled but with moving the mouse up after it hits the corner. The only reason I want that there is so that I can have access to its right click menu. If there's another way to get access to that menu in an equally convenient manner, I'm all ears.
