How do I get 8.1 to go directly to desktop?

I have used desktop for many years and am used to it. I am sure the tiles thing is better, but I want my desktop.
Instead of having the tiles come up and clicking on the desktop, how can I make it just go to the desktop and avoid the tiles. I found something in setup about defaulting to desktop, but that didn't seem to change anything.
Thanks.
