Hi, after years of Win XP and Win 7 my new laptop came with 8.0
i already upgrade to 8.1, now:

1) how do i remove the fxxxxxx start screen with all the fxxxxx squares/tiles whatever ?
I want to remove that, but, be able to bring it back if necessary. Something like a "disable"

2) Is not that i can't live with start screen, but i hate to see so many shxxx on screen, news, travel, bla bla bla, i didn't ask for that #$%!#% !!!
If you go to desktop and you have the familiar icons style, is the start screen still in memory?

3) what a fxxxx is that sleep screen, or whatever is called in English, that thing that blocks screen when you don't do anything for 10 minutes. Man, i just want get control back with a mouse movement, not to put a password to unblock it. this is not a tablet...

thanks
