I happily run stock Windows 8 on my own devices, i am not another "i do not get/like the start screen" whiner.

A laptop running windows 8.0 is hooked up to a 2nd display (LED wall, or a beamer) to which video output is cloned. The problem here is that whenever the user triggers the start screen, this disrupts the cloned output and content shown on that LED wall is replaced by the start screen or goes black.

This gets annoying soon, for all users of that LED wall. Is there any way to make sure that the start screen is:

  • not triggered by touch pad edges
  • not triggered by moving mouse in corner

In Windows 7 and prior, the start menu would be a non-issue since its not full screen, and our content window is set to "Always on top".

You can use Start8 or some other Start Screen replacement for Windows 8. (there are many of those, Start8 is just the first that popped up in Google - I haven't tested it myself).
