This will let you disable Metro ONLY or not. Disabling other things, as well or not, is an option. Nice to (still) keep or have Ribbon & Task Mgr & more. Link Removed Cheers, Drew

# windows8 Many people trying out the Windows 8 Developer Preview are noting that they cannot open some of the Metro style full-screen immersive apps when clicking on that app's tile in the start screen. This comes from having a screen resolution set below the minimum 1024x768 for Windows 8...

After reinstalling and disabling Metro, the Task Manager opens, but is blank. Wondering if anyone else had this issue. I can use a 3rd party Task Manager, but the Windows 8 one was kind of cool.

Some of these are new, others are the same keyboard shortcuts we've known for years. Note that "charms" refer to an element of the Metro interface Win + Spacebar : Switch the input language and keyboard layout Win + C : Open the Charms Win + D : Show the desktop Win + E : open Windows Explorer...

A fundamental question: how to quit a program in the Metro. I miss the X in the upper right corner. PS: Windows 8 on a laptop without a touchscreen!

As you all know, Microsoft is hard at work making sure Windows 8 runs well on tablets, including a completely new, Windows Phone 7-like Metro user interface. Another similarity between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7, apparently, is that Microsoft will be controlling the hardware experience rather...

I think most Windows 8 followers are more interested in the changing UI’s of Windows 8 than they are minor tweaks to features that have been around for a number of Windows versions. Personally, I completely welcome new features and improvements to the next version of Windows, but the dual...

We're still waiting for Microsoft to blow us away with its strategy for tablet domination but, thanks to the latest build of Windows 8 to drip through onto the internets, we have yet another indicator that the company's hopes rely on that OS. Of course we already know that it'll run on ARM...

Remember that leaked build of Windows 8 that hit the torrents just a few days back? Already old hat. That was build 7850. Today we've got a peek at what claims to be a newer build, 7955 , of the upcoming OS and it's starting to show a few of those Metro flourishes we've all been anticipating. In...

Yes, the Windows 8 rumour mill is really spinning up now. This time around though, they're not really rumours, since the information is coming from Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott, long-time Microsoft enthusiasts with loads of insider access. They've got a bunch of screenshots showing a work in...
