Bypass Windows 8 Metro Start Screen To Desktop

Friday, October 5, 2012

Dissimilar preceding versions of Windows where you are usurped to desktop at scheme startup, Windows 8 welcomes you with Underground Move Strain, providing excitable gain to applications and scheme shortcuts, fastened programs, and so on. Ostensibly, Windows 8 doesn't reserve users to create the artist Windows Beginning action posterior. If you don't necessary to emit the Desktop underground tile every dimension after logging into Windows, here's how to avoid Underground Sign Check and skip to desktop straight.

Lets BYPASS WINDOWS 8 METRO SCREEN TO DIRECTLY DESKTOP:


The first method of bypassing Start Screen at Windows 8 startup requires creating a Show Desktopshortcut in Startup folder. First off, open the Startup folder.
C:\Users\<User Profile>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Now, select Shortcut option from New right-click context menu and enter the following Show Desktop shortcut command.
C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}


Once done, give shortcut an appropriate name and click Finish to end the wizard. Now all you need is to restart or log off your PC to check if it takes you directly to the desktop at startup. This shortcut method is a bit slow, as Windows runs scripts, shortcuts, applications etc., in Startup folder after loading all user and system components. If you want to speed up the process, you can bind the Show Desktop script withWindows Logon event in order to run the script as soon as you log into Windows. You could use theGroup Local Policy editor to create a Logon script or Event Viewer to manually associate the Show Desktop script with Windows Logon event. To get started, copy the aforementioned Show Desktopcommand, open Search from Charms Bar (Win+C) and click Settings. Now enter event viewer in search bar to open View event logs dialog.

In Create Basic Task Wizard, move to Action tab by clicking Next. The Action tab lets you start a program, send an email or display a message when the associated event occurs. Just select Start a program and hit Next. Now paste the Show Desktop command to add both main executable file (explorer.exe) and command argument.

Once done, close the wizard and open Task Scheduler from Search sidebar to verify the trigger and action associated with winlogon event. Now when Windows 8 starts up, it will take you directly to Desktopinstead of showing the Metro Start Screen.
