如果你喜欢windows8，但对新的MetroUI和/或功能区界面不是特别喜欢，那么这个读者提示将帮助你禁用不想要的功能。

安吉写了一个多部分的提示。她的技巧的第一部分强调了一个简单的注册表黑客。第二部分重点介绍了一个超越简单注册表黑客的程序：

If you want to totally disable all new interface features in Windows 8 you can open up the Registry Editor and search for the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

Look for the entry RPEEnabled, then change the DWORD value to 0. You’ll need to force restart Windows explorer or just restart Windows to see the change. Everything should look like Windows 7 with Windows 8 under the hood. Sorta like this:

The only problem with that, though, is that you might want the new Explorer Ribbon. I don’t, but somebody might. I found a program called MetroController that lets you toggle the settings. You can disable only the Metro features (and keep the Ribbon) or you can disable all the new features like the Lock Screen, the Metro Start Screen, etc. It works just like promised, but you may have to jiggle-the-handle so to speak. I found that sometimes if I was making changes between the settings I would have to return everything to normal and then change what I wanted. Jumping from altered state to altered state seems to trip it up. Other than that, though, **ooth sailing.

我们在VirtualBox安装的windows8中进行了尝试，一切看起来都很棒。恢复Windows7的“开始”菜单很好，但在使用资源管理器时仍然有功能区界面。谢谢分享安琪！
