How To Get Back Classic Start Menu in Windows 8
As we all know that Windows 8 is going to come with a new start button. If you are still in love with old start button then to get it in Windows 8 DP you need to follow these steps.
- In your Windows 8 Developers Preview open registry editor by typing regedit.
- Now follow the Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer
- Now change the value of RPEnabled from 1 to 10
- Close regedit. You will see old start menu.
The only drawback of this method is that you wont get Metro UI of Windows 8 because through this method it gets disabled. To get the Metro UI back you need to follow the same process again and then change the value back to 1.
