I bet I am not the only one looking for ways to disable Metro UI on Windows 8. I was playing around with it and I was so annoyed with metro UI popping up once a while just to annoy me.

I still haven’t figure out how to disable the metro UI actually. The moment I found out how, I will let you guys know. If you guys to have more info, please share it here!

update: 1 hour later.. still can’t figure out how to disable the damn thing, if it is possible at all.

update: Thanks mandel129 . Here’s how you can disable metro UI

Rename c:\Windows\System32\shsxs.dll to something else =)

Preferred way, by editing the registry

1. Open regedit by typing regedit at the Start screen.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
3. Modify the RPEnabled key to a “0” instead of the default “1”.
4. To return to the Metro UI, just change the value back to a “1”.
