Btw, you can run Classic Shell on Windows 7 too. It's better than the Windows 7 Start Menu as well.

Yes it's perplexing. There has to be a way to disable them. Btw what is your version of Synaptics drivers? You could try installing a different one? You said above you tried registry tweaks so I guess you already tried this (have you tried adding to both keys, TouchPadPS2 and TouchPadPS2_1?)...

Have you also disabled them via Classic Shell's Start Menu settings -> Windows 8.1 Settings tab -> Disable active corners to All?

Btw just for note, if you shut down by right clicking the Start button in Windows 8.1, it always does a full shutdown so it will always take long to boot. If you shut down using Alt+F4 on the desktop, using a Start Menu or using Win+I, it does a hybrid shutdown.

Out of curiosity, what bugs or problems did you face with Classic Shell? I ask so they can be fixed. Btw, I agree with your opinion of Windows 8. They took many steps backwards from Windows 7.

If it helps you guys, I wrote a detailed article on how the Classic Shell Start Menu's search box works here: Classic Shell ? View topic - Search box usage for beginners as well as power users (it clarifies what all requires indexing, what doesn't) and lists the Advanced Query Syntax of Windows...
