Information
If you want the classic Start Menu, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ in Regedit and find the RPEnabled key, set it to 0.
Activation and hidden stuff
Since it does not activate itself anymore, you'll have to disable the activation and timebomb, so: take onwership of three files (slui.exe, sppsvc.exe and slwga.dll), delete them and restart.
This build is fully unlocked and requires no tweaks except for the hidden classic start menu which is mentioned above.
