How to make Win8 more like Win7

  

, Window 8 operating system introduces a new Metro interface, user-friendly touch operation, and instantly display useful information, the interface is also suitable for mouse and keyboard operations.

And in terms of operability and optimization performance, compared with Windows 7 operating system, Windows 8 has made great achievements in terms of performance, security, privacy and system stability on the basis of Windows 7. The progress of the program reduces the memory footprint to provide more space for your application, which means that Windows 8 compatibility has been improved. However, the "Win7" update to "Win8" is more like a perfect enhanced version of the "Win7" operating system, unlike the "WinXP" to "vol7".

However, although Win8 is more like an enhanced version of Win7, the introduction of the new Metro UI has replaced the changes of the traditional desktop, which has affected the user's operating habits and made many users who update the Win8 system. It seems very uncomfortable. For example, if the user needs to shut down the system, under the Win7 operating system, the user only needs to click the mouse twice, and Win8……“呃, may I ask, "Start"Where is the menu?”

Obviously, because Win8 system changes in user operating habits, even if Win8 operating system has made strong performance optimization, even a small problem such as "shutdown" will make many users of Win8 operating system It is a dizzy, it is a lot of Win8 users began to miss the way Win7 operates.

So, we have to ask, without the Windows 8 operating system of the "Start" menu, can it become as familiar as "Win7"? The answer is obviously "Yes!"

The biggest change in the Windows 8 operating system interface is the introduction of the Metro UI interface, and the boot automatically enters the Metro interface, or "Desktop", this is mainly to take care of the use of touch screen users. However, the operation of "desktop" is very inconvenient for users who do not have a touch screen to operate the module interface with the mouse and keyboard.

The desktop defaults to the lower left corner of Metro

Of course, the system boots into the Metro UI interface, which does not mean that the traditional “desktop” disappears. In fact, the traditional “desktop” is arranged by default in the lower left corner of the module interface. We only need to click on the module to enter the familiar Windows desktop (or press the Win button). But when the system is turned on, we have to do it this way, which is very cumbersome. Then, in order to make the new "Win8" system from booting, it is like "Win7", we need to let Win8 enter the system and directly enter the desktop operation.

Create “show the desktop&rquo; shortcut

In order to let the "Win8" system boot, skip the Metro, go directly to the desktop, we need to take advantage of the Windows system comes with &ldquo ; mission planning program & rdquo;. But first let's create a shortcut to “show desktop”.

First we need to open “Notepad”, then type some code inside:

[Shell]

Command=2

IconFile=Explorer .exe,3

[Taskbar]

Command=ToggleDesktop

Type a code to display a shortcut to the desktop

After editing the text, click “ File & rdquo;, “ Save as & rdquo;, and save the file extension as “SCF”. For example, “ShowDesktop.scf”.

Create a new task scheduler to get back to the boot desktop

Then we use the "task scheduler" that comes with Windows to add a task plan to the system, so that you can let "&"Win8” After the system, directly execute “ShowDesktop.scf” to display the desktop, eliminating the need for manual clicks.

Open Computer Management and find "Task Scheduler"

First, we first "Computer", right click, click "Manage", open “Computer Management”, find &ldquo "Task Scheduler" (of course we can also find "Computer Management" in the Control Panel).

Click “Create Task” Start a Task Name

New “Toggles”

Then click on the “Trigger” tab and select“ New & rdquo;. Then select “Login” in the “Start Task> drop-down menu in the new window, click “OK”End.

New “Actions 

Then click on the <quo;Actions" tab and click “New”. Then in the new window, click “Browse”, select Previous “ShowDesktop.scf” to display the specific path of the desktop shortcut. Then click OK to complete the operation.

<;Conditions 

Finally, in the <;Conditions" tab, <;Only when the computer is using AC power to start the task> Select Uncheck. Then click “OK" to complete the creation of the new task.

Newly created boot execution task

Through the above series of operations and task creation, you can let “Win8” system execute “display desktop> Shortcuts to skip the Metro UI interface. This can look less than "Win8".
