Disabling Windows 8 Modern UI

+

Some people like the new Modern UI (me) and some hate it (my brother). It can be disabled easily by installing [Pokki].

+

[Pokki] is Start Menu for Windows 8 which also has options to login directly to desktop (without seeing Modern UI) and disable hot corners. Pokki also includes inbuild application store where you can get hundreds of free applications.

+

First download [Pokki] and when you see the start menu, right click it and set the settings you want (boot to desktop & disable hot corners).
