MAJ 15/09/2011: Et maintenant un logiciel est sorti pour faire la manoeuvre :
Télécharger Windows 8 Start Menu Toggle
Article original:
Vous aussi vous avez été séduit par la sortie de la Developer Preview de Windows 8 (build 8102) cette nuit et vous vous êtes précipité pour l’installer en dur sur votre PC ou sur une machine virtuelle (Virtualbox 4.1.2 a d’ailleurs un peu de mal, VMWare Workstation 7.1 n’est pas compatible mais la nouvelle version 8.0 l’est) pour vous sentir un peu perdu par la nouvelle interface tactile Metro grandement inadaptée à tout ce qui est non tactile ? Gêné d’avoir eu du mal à trouver comment démarrer un autre logiciel que l’App Weather (pour lister tous les logiciels installés il faut aller sur le logo Windows puis Search) ?
Sachez qu’il reste un moyen de faire réapparaître le menu démarrer de notre bon vieux Windows 7 simplement en suivant les étapes qui suivent :
- Ouvrez Regedit
- Allez sur la clé HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
- Changez la clé RPEnabled de l’état » 1 » à » 0 « .
- Fermez Regedit
- Constatez en cliquant sur le logo Windows.
Seul inconvénient, cela désactive totalement l’interface « Metro » mais cela reste une solution temporaire en attendant une nouvelle build un peu plus évoluée qui nous dira si l’ancien menu démarrer aura encore sa place sur Windows 8.
Ainsi, Pour retrouver l’interface « Metro », il vous faudra faire le contraire et changer de l’état de la clé de » 0 » à » 1 « .
