Boot directly to the desktop in Windows 8 – new shortcut

Mike Johnson August 22, 2012 Microsoft 3 Comments

Open Folder Options

Choose the View Tab

Click on ”Restore previous folder windows at log-on”

If you leave an explorer window open at the time of system shutdown, the system will boot to the desktop at startup. Obviously you can use Stardock 8 to accomplish the same effect. As you can see, the hunger for the desktop app upon startup still remains. Credit: Neowin.]]>

Well, I tried the ‘Fred 69’ method and it DOES NOT WORK ON MY COMPUTER.
What is the big deal with starting with the desktop, anyway.
The Skip Metro Suite does work.

Tried it BUT it doesn’t work on my computer either! Better off using Classic Start Menu. This works and has heaps of options. Check it out by “Goggling” it!
