Oh, yes, sorry - Start Up Folder I'm not sure about. I only have one small tray icon in there. Personally, I'd just put everything into Registry Run key if that's a problem. (This isn't the most secure thing, but I have my laptop set to automatically log in. Nothing fancy, just the same as logging in at the console, as in it goes to Metro. In the registry run keys I have got a .vbs script which locks the workstation. I boot my laptop, get a brew and by the time I get back it's locked and everything is ready to go) Edit: No, that's a lie - I had a feeling. My .vbs script is in Start-Up and definitely runs with no interaction. Edit 2: I'm miles away today. Yeah, it won't work if you replace the shell. That makes sense because explorer.exe is responsible for running things in the Start Up folder. Dan Herman

I used to do that. Automatic login and a lock file in the startup folder to make sure everything in the background starts so I'm not sat waiting an age for all that stuff to start. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

Either their futurologists had predicted a much greater roll-out of touchscreen pcs and laptops by the time Win8 was released and they just fucked up, or - more likely, I think - they decided that pissing off a substantial minority of their users was a price worth paying to get huge numbers of people used to the UI in order to help them to make up a bit of the distance against the Android and iPad OSes they need if they're going to make any headway in the tablet market.

Have they said when it's going to officially be out (as in, not a preview)? *PNCOOL*
