[dba-Tech] Windows 8: Not!

 Hi Arthur --

You can even just use [WindowsKey] alone to toggle Win8 Start screen and MS Windows classic desktop.
BTW, if you have two displays then you can make one working in Win8 mode and another one working in classic desktop mode.

Good Luck!

P.S. I do not play computer games - I'm just sometimes watching how my kid is playing them - a lot to learn how to interact with modern technologies!
