Hate Metro? Get Classic Shell

Not to rain on your parade but those of us that are power users and don't use keyboard short cuts

The set of power users and the set of users who don't use keyboard shortcuts are completely disjoint, so your point is null.

Your comment has got me thinking. Personally I rarely use kb shortcuts as my left arm is always resting when using the mouse.

I use the kb when typing, some games etc. but when doign things like using multimedia apps, browsing, computer maintenance its mouse only.

Windows 8 seems to be designed in a way to penalise mouse users and its arguable microsoft now maybe want the mouse gone.

does classicshell fix these UI issues?

Pfft. I don't need no Shell icon to get to the Control Panel and command prompt. Windows-X has those built in.

If a windows and it opens in W8 style (i.e. a settings window), I then close it by dragging it to bottom I get back to Metro screen instead of Classic Shell. How do I set it to go back to Classic Shell directly?
