    How to Change the "Default view for links" in the Immersive Metro Style Internet Explorer 10

    The default setting for this is to open links with the Metro IE. So you will want to change it from the default setting if you want links to open with the desktop IE instead.

    Also you can achieve the same thing if you install another browser and associate .html files to it. From that moment IE Metro won't run anymore (only desktop version). But I like your way better! Thanks.
