BluePoison Disables Windows 8 Immersive Start Menu, Unlocks Hidden Features

BluePoison is a handy program for Windows 8 Developer Build that can unlock hidden features such as Moonrea (a multimedia storage and creation utility using a metro interface) and has the ability to disable Windows 8′s Immersive Start Menu.

BluePoison was developed by an Italian development group, Italy Windows 8. It can also unlock a hidden applications folder and launches the Snap utility for smaller-resolution displays than normally allowed. The utility also includes 10 non-customissable Windows 8 Start Menu themes. If you ever need to revert back to the standard Windows 8 Developer Build you can do so with one click on the BluePoison menu.

BluePoison is a free download for Windows 8 Developer Build directly from the developer at the link below.

    Why would you want to disable the Start Screen? It is way better than the stupid Win7 Start Menu and far more customisable.

      Very subjective. I have been trying to get used to it, but for me it is FAR less usable than the start menu. I hope the touch friendly start screen will be limited to touch devices only.
