Why don't you do something useful and teach Wynona how to disable it all.
Hipsie, if it entails installing a third party start button, I've been there, done that and didn't hang around long enough to get the T-shirt. Every start button I've installed leaves something lacking, so, thanks, but no thanks. That said, to each his own . . . I have no problem with those who like the things; I installed one for my best friend who has a system identical to mine.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I boot to the desktop, have the Quick Launch and Programs toolbars installed and Windows 8.1 gave me a teeny tiny little window for the few times I actually want to see the butt-ugly metro interface. I do like clicking on the teeny tiny window and just start typing to get what I want in a flash, and maybe one or two more things.
Thanks for thinking of me, though. It's appreciated.
