The way Windows 8 is used more like Windows 7

The biggest change in the Windows 8 operating system interface is the introduction of the Metro UI interface, and the boot automatically enters the Metro interface, or "Rolling Desktop" Also mainly to take care of the use of touch screen users. However, the operation of "desktop" is very inconvenient for users who do not have a touch screen to operate the module interface with the mouse and keyboard.

The desktop defaults to the lower left corner of Metro

Of course, the system boots into the Metro UI interface, which does not mean that the traditional “desktop” disappears. In fact, the traditional “desktop” is arranged by default in the lower left corner of the module interface. We only need to click on the module to enter the familiar Windows desktop (or press the Win button). But when the system is turned on, we have to do it this way, which is very cumbersome. So, in order to make the new "Windows 8" system from booting like "Win7", we need to let Windows 8 enter the system, directly into the desktop operation.

●Create “Show desktop” shortcuts

In order to let "Windows 8" system boot, skip Metro and go directly to the desktop, we need to take advantage of the Windows system “Task Scheduler”. But first let's create a shortcut to “show desktop”.

First we need to open “Notepad”, then type some code inside:

[Shell]

Command=2

IconFile=Explorer .exe,3

[Taskbar]

Command=ToggleDesktop

Type a code to display a shortcut to the desktop

After editing the text, click “ File & rdquo;, “ Save as & rdquo;, and save the file extension as “SCF”. For example, “ShowDesktop.scf”.

●Create a new task scheduler to retrieve the boot desktop

Then we use the "task scheduler" that comes with Windows to add a task plan to the system, so that " Windows 8&rdquo After entering the system, directly execute “ShowDesktop.scf” to display the desktop, eliminating the need for manual clicks.

Open Computer Management and find "Task Scheduler"

First, we first "Computer", right click, click "Manage", open “Computer Management”, find &ldquo "Task Scheduler" (of course we can also find "Computer Management" in the Control Panel).

Click “Create Task” Start a Task Name

New “Toggles”

Then click on the “Trigger” tab and select“ New & rdquo;. Then select “Login” in the “Start Task> drop-down menu in the new window, click “OK”End.

New “Actions 

Then click on the <quo;Actions" tab and click “New”. Then in the new window, click “Browse”, select Previous “ShowDesktop.scf” to display the specific path of the desktop shortcut. Then click OK to complete the operation.

<;Conditions 

Finally, in the <;Conditions" tab, <;start the task only when the computer is using AC power> ; choose to uncheck. Then click “OK" to complete the creation of the new task.

Newly created boot task

Through the above series of operations, as well as the creation of tasks, you can let the "Windows 8" system start "and display the desktop" at startup. Shortcuts to skip the Metro UI interface. This can look less than "Windows 8".
