[dba-Tech] Permanently disable the Windows 8 tiled UI

Hi Arthur

All such trouble so save 1 (one) mouse click?
And, if you let your pc go to sleep, it will wake up where you left it.
Nothing to install. With Win8, MS has driven the sleep function to near
perfection.

Besides, when the author claims that your pc will run faster due to a few MB
more of free memory, all credits are lost.

Emne: [dba-Tech] Permanently disable the Windows 8 tiled UI

The current issue of InfoPackets contains an article that describes how to
do this, using a utility called Ex7ForW8 (Explorer 7 for Windows 8).
Apparently, this approach consumes less memory while not sacrificing the
increased boot-up time, etc.
