One of biggest complaints about Windows 8 is that it boots straight to the Start screen...an annoyance for many committed [gs desktop] [gs user]s.

The Start8 [gs utility] helps you avoid this indignity (among other cool features), but you can actually boot straight to the desktop without installing anything extra.

  • Go to the start screen and type in "schedule" to search for Schedule Task in Settings.
  • Click on Task Scheduler Library to the left, and select Create Task.
  • Name your task something like "Boot to desktop".
  • Now select the Triggers tab, choose New, and use the drop-down box to select starting the task "At log on" .
  • Click OK and go to the Actions tab, choose Newand enter "explorer" for the Program/Script value.
  • Press OK, save the task, and restart to test it out!
