For all you people out there that have been working with Windows8 trying to
get up to speed and wishing Metro was just an option; well, you may be in
luck, at least in the Preview package. Below is a hack method which may
clean up your problems. 

1. Open regedit by typing regedit at the Start screen.

2. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

3. Modify the RPEnabled key to a "0" instead of the default "1".

4. To return to the Metro UI, just change the value back to a "1".

You can even create a toggle command batch file right on the "desktop???".
