Windows 8 – Re-Enabling The Classic Start Menu

Back to origins!

Although the new Windows 8 interface has some lovers and some haters, most of the IT people I know that tested Windows 8 Developer Preview commonly says that Windows 8 without the classic start menu will be less productive for them.

Well, I’m included on that IT people and I wanted my start menu back, I’ve googled a little bit and here’s how to bring it back using a registry tweak:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

change value of RPEnabled from "1" to "0" and restart.

This will make all metro UI to vanish. If you want it back just change the value again from 0 to 1.
