[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
It was in fact removed well before release. "redpill" (what is controlled by the registry value you seek) is an MS-internal test mode for secret and/or experimental features. It's been present for at least a few previous beta products too, covering things like Win7's new taskbar. Only the very first public build of Win8 used the Redpill switch; everything after that had it built in.

There are third-party apps which disable TIFKAM (The Interface Formerly Known As Metro) to a lesser or greater degree, but I can't recommend any of them as I don't know what they actually do to the system. Personally, I just move the mouse to the lower-left corner (where the Start button appears usually), and then Right-click followed immediately by a Left-click. That will take you to the desktop from anywhere. Another way to do it is hit [Win]+d, the "Show Desktop" shortcut from previous Windows versions still works on Win8, and if you aren't on the desktop it will take you there.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
To boot to desktop, change

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell

from "explorer.exe" to "explorer.exe /select,explorer.exe"

There are other ways w/o involving external software, one of which is to set up a task that runs on desktop. To find out, Google.

As far as disabling Metro altogether (ie the hot-corners), use any of the common 3rd-party fixes like Classic Shell. They work fine. Then you'd have basically an improved Win7 with some new features.

Unlike the "embrace change" advocates here, I think the user should decide if he wants to use Metro.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Good tip on the Shell registry change, thanks!
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
Thanks for the shell reg change, nice find. But we do have a choice to use metro or not, MS isn't a public service made to suite our needs, its a private company that can do as it wants, whether that is what we want as users is a different story, the best way to to affect change on private companies is to vote with your wallet so to speak. I'm not arguing that metro is better or anything there are issues with win 8, but as it stands there is a choice, an buying something then complaining it isn't what you want is perhaps a little silly, an we wouldn't do it in any other market cept the movie industry of course! Nope, MS will have your money an they won't be to bothered about anything else.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>it stands there is a choice, an buying something then complaining it isn't what you want is perhaps a little silly

The OP asks if there's a way to boot to desktop, not whether he wants Metro. Please restrict the editorializing and proselytizing to appropriate threads. Thanks.

BTW, credit for the reg edit goes to another in the Win8 Dev subforum. It's a compact variation of starting a desktop task (the task in this case being Explorer itself). Explorer's parameters are below for those interested. You can vary the results by experimenting with different combinations:

/n: Opens a new window in single-paned (My Computer) view for each item selected, even if the new window duplicates a window that is already open.

/e: Uses Windows Explorer view. Windows Explorer view is most similar to File Manager in Windows version 3.x. Note that the default view is Open view.

/root,<object>: Specifies the root level of the specified view. The default is to use the normal namespace root (the desktop). Whatever is specified is the root for the display.

/select,<sub object>: Specifies the folder to receive the initial focus. If "/select" is used, the parent folder is opened and the specified object is selected.

Usage examples here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130510
[Windows 8 General] offspin2040:
Guys no need to go into the shell!!

Get this app called pokki(search on google) .Install it.Once you install it click the pokki icon on desktop.Then check the boot to desktop option.If you want you can also get back the start button,thereby saying goodbye to metro altogether.

Hope this helps....

You should work on your reading comprehension. I said "the user should decide," not what I think Win8 should or shouldn't be. And you're welcome.
[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
I'm using the classic shell add on:

http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/

It allows one to bypass the Win 8 UI and go directly to Windows. Plus it puts the start menu back in. I personally see no reason to try and disable the Win 8 new shell; just ignore it and stay on the desktop.

The only exception is that the new UI has some settings on my ultrabook that are not present in the Desktop interface (like controlling the GPS).
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
To be honest, I found ClassicShell to be buggy and unreliable. It frequently caused Explorer to crash.

I used Start8 through the trial and it seemed decent enough (I didn't crash hourly), but by the time that it expired I felt that Metro was just fine and didn't bother.
[Windows 8 General] FlemishDroid:
Or install start8

Verstuurd van mijn GT-S5660
[Windows 8 General] ChrisDDD:
I have it on one system, and although I haven't noticed it to cause any stability issues, I found Start8 to be more refined.

In any case, here are the top start menu/metro avoidance programs:

Classic Shell

Start8

StartMenu7

StartMenu8

Pokki

ViStart (linked but not recommended because it tries it's best to install all kinds of 3rd party toolbars)

I found just the opposite. I tried Metro for a while and just found it didn't do anything objectively better than the start menu, and the hot corners kept getting in my way (several of my programs have a lot of tools/buttons at the corners and edges and I was continually activating the various hidden menus). I tried Start8 and it works perfectly.
[Windows 8 General] RunasSudo:
Theres an app called "FxxkMetro.exe" (actually spelt like that). It's designed to "seek out" and terminate all running instances of Metro, completely disabling it.
