Solved IE10 "Metro mode" disabled?

My IE10 seems to have its "Metro mode" disabled. I can't seem to use it. The Internet Explorer tile in the Metro Start Menu just brings me to desktop and opens IE (in the desktop instead of opening it in Metro). I barely recall it was working (goes into Metro when opened in the start menu) when Win8DP was newly installed. I can't exactly figure out what cause it or how to bring back its "Metro mode".

The only tweak I used on it was:

I tried to undo that, but it's still the same (IE Metro Tile opens it in "desktop mode")

If it helps, I also applied a few others (which I don't think affects IE, but still...):
One of the themes from the program "Blue Poison" (just a theme and nothing else) and

Though, normally, I use Firefox instead of IE and I just found this out when I accidentally clicked IE's Metro tile. But it's still bothering me.

Tried it and it worked. It felt a little too extreme though.

Paul Thurrott did a nice job of explaining the strange (and I mean STRANGE) way browsers work in Win8 CP:

So there are 4 browsers in my Win8, the two flavors of IE10, Firefox, and Chrome. Most of the time IE10 is the defualt for things like Outlook links (even though FF is my DEFAULT browser) but I managed to change it in Outlook. Funky!
