Hi Vasago12,

Go to Start8's configuration settings ("Configure Start8") and in its first column click on 'Desktop': in the second column under the heading "Which taskbar should the start button appear on?" there is "Show a start button on the main taskbar"; and under the heading "How should the new Windows 8 features work?" there is "Automatically go to the Desktop when I sign in" - make sure both of those are enabled.

I am running Start8 v.1.09 beta, however I think both of those settings are in v. 1.03 as well.

regards,

Laurence
