Boot Direct to Desktop
I found this in a Windows 8 book in the Start Screen Store.
If you want to boot directly into the desktop without passing thru the Start Screen
Go to the start screen & type in schedule to search for Schedule Task in Settings.
Click on Task Scheduler Library in the left pane, and select Create Task in right pane.
Name your task something like Boot to desktop.
Now select the Triggers tab, choose New, and use the drop-down box to select starting the task At log on.
Click OK and go to the Actions tab, choose New, and enter explorer for the Program/Script value.
Press OK, save the task, and restart to test it out.
