While disabling the new Metro style design in Windows 8 isn’t an option, a simple script that runs at the start-up every time can help you to go straight to the Desktop skipping the Start screen.
Instructions
- Copy the code below and paste it into a text file and save it as windesk.bat (make sure you change the file extension from .txt to .bat).
- Store the script on C:\ — don’t ever delete this file –. Now you’ll need to create a Windows task that will always run at the log-in. You’ll do this by creating a new task in the Windows Task Scheduler. end_
Creating a schedule task
Go to the Start screen, type and open the Schedule tasks.
From the Actions menu on the right, click Create Basic Task.
Name the task anything you want, and click Next.
On Task Trigger, select When I log on and click Next.
In Action, select Start a program and click Next.
At the Start a Program, browse and select the script you created earlier, click Next and then Finish.
Now with the script created and attached to a new Windows task, you won’t have to resource to manually bypass the Start screen at log-in.
