Create a new plain text document
on your
desktop or another location.
You can do so with
a right-click and the selection of New
> Text
Document from the context menu.
Add the following contents to the
new document
and save it afterwards:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=Explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Rename the text document to
metro.scf. P
Make sure the .txt extension gets
removed in the process.
You can verify that by comparing
the icon before and after the
renaming: it should be different
after you have renamed it.
Now it is time to add the file as a
Task to the Task Scheduler.
The easiest way to open the
Windows
Task Scheduler is to press the
Windows-key to
get into Metro (how ironic), enter
schedule,
switch to the settings filter on the
right, and select
the scheduler from the results
listing.
Select Task
Scheduler Library in the new
window, right-click in the task listing,
and pick the create
new task option from the context
menu.
Enter a name for the task,
e.g. Metro, and switch to the triggers
tab.
Click on the add button here and
select at log on in the begin the task
menu at the top of the new window.
Switch to the actions tab afterwards,
select
browse, and then the metro.scf file
that you have
created previously.
When you restart Windows 8 now,
the operating
system should automatically bypass
the Metro interface.
On most PCs,
This will work
