Actually you can boot windows 8 to desktop... :wtf:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogin

Modify Shell string and amend explorer.exe to "explorer.exe /select,explorer.exe" :)

Mate this Trick is for Skipping Start Screen and opening File Explorer at win Log ON.

In the (nearly) 1 year that this topic was started most seem to have turned to 3rd party alternatives to help boot directly into desktop. ^_^

Try "explorer.exe explorer.exe" it still puts you on the desktop but flashes the start screen for a split second.
