  • Metro GUI & Ribbon disable: Disables Metro GUI,Metro task Manager,Metro Lockscreen & metro Ribbon also.
  •  Metro GUI & Ribbon enable:Re-enables all the disabled Metro features.
  • Power Option Buttons to Metro Start Menu: Conventional Log-off,Switch user,Lock,Sleep,Re-start & Shut-down makes appearance.
  • Pin applications on to the Metro Start Menu: You can browse to the appropriate applications to be launched along with the Metro start menu by navigating to its installed location & adding it to the Metro tweaker.
                                                                        A new folder,MetroUI tools will be generated in the windows default directory to keep the Power option apps at its respective location.Once the Tweaker has activated the Power menu features, under no circumstances this folder must be deleted as it may cause errors or the options will disappear from the Metro UI.
