Windows 8 registry Tweaks
My collection so far. I've snagged a few from elsewhere and modified.
Make sure to use Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 at top REGEDIT4 don't seem to work that well anymore
Start On Desktop was originally done by Josh Cell Softwares and opens Start but then switches to desktop
I just wanted a reg tweak to apply to my Unattended so wouldn't have to start a new program.
Drawback to this is it will open Documents folder when desk opens but you can easily close it. Done same thing with Josh program here.

I am using %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} to open it on root of Computer
I changed this to %windir%\explorer.exe "" which works better and don't open new windows
