The METRO UI sucks. Ya it does! So get rid of it all and go back to a regular start menu with CLASSICSHELL I promise you this will change your life when it comes to Windows 8. I did not know this program existed when I first used Win 8 and Server 2012. I hated it with a passion, so much so I swtiched back to Win 7. Then I found that lil puppy and it changed everything. I will no never go back to anything before Windows 8 and the Metro screen is a thing of the past. If you have Windows 8/8.1 do yourself a favor and install classic shell. You will see what I mean. djMot and JohnnyDos 2

I have mine configured so if I tap the Windows Key, I get the Metro Start screen, and if I click the Start button on the taskbar, I get the classic Win7-style start menu. Best of both worlds. Awards

Best of both worlds. OddJob001 1 Awards
