Well, you can still use just point and click if you wish: - move mouse cursor to the top-left corner while in Win8 GUI mode - minimized desktop box will appear - click on it to get into Win classic desktop mode; - move mouse cursor to the bottom-left corner while in Win classic GUI desktop mode - minimized Win 8 Start desktop will appear - click on it to get into Win 8 Start desktop. Still, try to teach your users to use hot-keys as they have been used by MS WIndows power-users from the very first MS Windows versions - tell them that hotkeys will make them working much quicker with MS Windows, and the one who gets the ability to freely work with MS Windows by using hot-keys gets into higher users league - power-users... -- Shamil Monday, May 27, 2013 12:30 AM -07:00 from Hans-Christian Andersen <hans.andersen at phulse.com>: >This is antithetical to a GUI (graphical user interface).
