It's more for business/server stuff. Looking at it more, it may not even work for you but it's worth a shot. I've got one other idea off the top of my head, but you won't want to do it...lol.

I don't want to mess with that either. Holy ****, is there not a easy way to fix it. Lol. I think I'll just keep it locked and stay signed in. I really hate this thing :/

No!! I can't even change that ugly *** picture. Sometimes when I use one of the apps on the start screen it just closes out on its own, I don't like the way they hid the freakin control panel, What was wrong with the start button?!? I'm not that great with computers to begin with and they just made it harder with this pos!!! Just my opinion

Even you said you didn't like 8.

No, they are tired of listening to people that can't figure it all out.

While I have no real issues with the new interface like some people have, I do miss the start button. It is a quicker to access stuff from it if it's not already set up in other areas.

Other than that, 8 has only locked up on me once and has been pretty stable for me.

7 never gives me issues. And so far as of now runs all my games and apps. Most likely won't make the switch till I'm forced too.

I can change it here, but you said it returns when you log out. This PC is set up as a local user so I don't have a log out option. I'll have to go try it on the media center PC since that one is set up like that.
