Hello all,

I run several computer labs and we are about to introduce a boat load of windows 8 machines. The split screen mode allows a unique method for getting around our pc management system.  Does anyone know a way to turn off the split screen feature?

Thanks

    Sir, if you wish to alienate your customer base to the very best of your customer-nullifying ability, keep saying that the things that we are experiencing is wrong, doesn't happen, or isn't an isue, period.

    PS: Try finding a different job because PR representative clearly isn't your strong suit.

    No thanks, I actually like to get work done not play with toy versions of Linux. As for you, Shawn, I don't know how you ever got to be a moderator with your attitude but thanks for nothing other than a frustrating read.

    Sorry but as far as I know there's not a way to stop users from opening more than one program and arranging them how they please, regardless of whether those apps are metro/desktop: the distinction doesn't matter because  they're both still just programs, and they both are allowed to be arranged, resized, or positioned by the user.  But if they don't use metro apps, they'll never see them.  Windows will never force a user into the metro environment: the user has to go there on their own if they want it.

    Can I just grab a hammer and beat the **** out of this computer first? Then never purchase anything ever again by this Goddamn Microsoft **** company?!
