How do you turn off the charms bar COMPLETELY?

PLEASE tell me there is a way to COMPLETELY turn off the charms bar so that it NEVER pops up again? I hate it!!!
Alternatively, is there a way to go back to Windows 7 without destroying all my saved files?

Hi,
Downgrade rights
Quoting the Microsoft website:
If you do have downgrade rights and decide to use them, you continue to keep the license and rights of use for your original version and may "upgrade" back at any time.

refer to the links and see whether your system supports the downgrade rights.
My suggestion:
You can backup all of your important data to a external drive and make a clean installation to Windows 7.

  • How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar?

    How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar? the drop down boxes are really starting to annoy me!

    You can't turn off the suggestions in Safari, though you may be able to do that if you install Glims, which also offers some additional options that aren't available directly in Safari.
    Quit Safari before you install it, then restart and go to Preferences>Glims to setup your options.
    As for drop-down boxes, what exactly are you referring to?

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
    more path shortcuts:

  • How do you turn off the auto grid?

    How do you turn off the auto grid? I read in a forum that the solution is "View- show- turn off grid". But the weird thing is I had to have that website open to even get the alternative up under "View". If I didn´t, there were other alternatives there. Why?
    The second problem is, when I finally got the "Turn off auto grid" alternative up, it will not be unchecked…. I´m working on a mac.
    Thank you in advance!

  • HT200154 how do you turn off the apple TV box?  There doesn't seem to be an off button.  The status light stays on.

    how do you turn off the apple TV box?  There doesn't seem to be an off button.  The status light stays on.

    Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off.  To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
    If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.

  • HT5858 how do you turn off the need to hit enter once the password is entered

    How do you turn off the need to hit enter once a password is entered?

    Can you try logging on as another administrative user?  (Make another user, if necessary.)
    And just for the heck of it, if you click the lock and unlock the rest of the controls, does the checkbox appear?
    Another thought: is your computer part of a Windows domain or other network?  Is there a policy on the network to require a screen saver password?  (For example on my office's Windows network, a screen saver password requirement is set in the Group Policy.  I'm assuming that something similar can be done with an OSX server, if you haven't joined the Mac to a Windows Active Directory network.)
