Minifying Win8 and disabling metro?

[ssjwizard]

Ok so I prefer a very minimal desktop environment and I think metro is hideous. Anyways when I previously ran Win8 Dev Preview you could disable metro by editing a single reg value.

Im following the instructions found here and It still recommends doing it that way but I don't have that option available.



So anyone know how to handle this in the newer customer preview?

Also any links to guides or recommend 3rd party SW or add-ons would be great.

You can't disable the Metro UI in the latest CP.

While not the real start menu, stardock released start8

Should minimize the pain.
