This is related to How to hide “Start” button in Windows 8.1?.
I've got the useless, castrated, Microsoft provided start menu next to a 3rd party start menu. I'd like to remove Microsoft's useless, castrated start button. I want to remove it though the registry, without using yet another app store app.
I tried searching the registry, but the soft keyboard does not provide F3. So I can't quickly search the registry. I also tried removing it via a Local Security Policy, but it appears Microsoft has removed the item (or its only available on domain computers).
In essence, I need to know the keys shown under Centralized Configuration in Microsoft's technet article Exploring Windows 8.1 Start Screen and Start Button Options and Configurations.
And I don't have the RollBackToWindows8Build9200 key discussed in Disable Windows 8.1 Start Button (someone suggested it was a prank). I tired to add it but it did not help.
What is the registry key Microsoft uses to control the presence of their start button? What key is tools like 7+ Taskbar Tweaker writing to?
