I want to completely remove the metro UI in Windows 8

[klh2000]

I have the metro UI disabled almost entirely in windows 8, but I want to REMOVE it. I've looked in the windows folder and system32. There is a folder named startscreen but there isn't anything in there that would run it, just a couple reg files that have to do with windows help. Any thoughts as to where it might be hiding?

Pretty sure it's not possible for the average user, but can I ask why? I don't see the point if you never see it anyway. btw it's not a .exe

Install Window 7.....and chango presto.....no metro UI.

 

Seriously, though, I have no clue. I thought it was part of the OS and couldn't be removed.

That's why I have windows 7

some settings can only be changed though metro apps. youd be crippling your PC by removing it. unless you need a few hundred megs of space, I dont see why this is neccessary

That would basically break your windows install.

Do this and you'll never have to see it:

Right click on task bar

Properties

Navigation

 

Check: When I sign in go to start, show desktop background on start

make sure everything else in navigation is unchecked

 

profit.

I think the startscreen is built into the core of Windows, but you can remove the modern UI apps if you want.

I've already done everything that is listed here, I was just wondering if it was possible. I use classicshell.

you are going to break the OS..no doubt, at best you will make it critically unstable.
