*RetroUI* is a simple customization software that allows users to hide or get
rid of the Windows 8 Modern UI entirely. In earlier betas of Windows 8, the
operating system would *boot directly to the traditional Windows desktop*.
When Windows 8 Consumer Preview came out, that changed and the operating
system would only boot into the Modern UI by default with no way to change it
back. RetroUI solves this by allowing users to *hide or disable the Modern UI
entirely*. If you absolutely detest the Modern UI, RetroUI may make Windows 8
usable. Unfortunately, it isn't a true solution for making Windows 8 function
more like the traditional Windows operating system. RetroUI has the option to
change the default login behavior of Windows 8 by *booting directly to the
desktop and unlocking the screen to the desktop instead of the Modern UI*.
This is good for those who don't want to be taken back into the Modern UI
each time. RetroUI also has the option to *completely disable the Modern UI*,
*Charms*, and *hot corners*. This severely impacts the usability of the
operating system as there is no way to access a traditional "Start menu."
*Overall, RetroUI is a half-hearted attempt at making Windows 8 more usable
to those who want a more traditional Windows experience.*Download *RetroUI*
