Description

Windows 8 has introduced the new “Modern UI”, formerly known as Metro. One of the parts of that modern ui is the "Edge UI" - two dock-like panels at left and right side of Desktop. Left panel is known as "Switcher" and right panel is known as "Charms Bar".
You can disable them with this simple registry script.

It does not work. I tried this just now to see if I can do it and When I move my mouse up the right side of the screen, then the charm bar appears. Same with the left side. I do have the Final Version; 9200 build of Windows 8 Professional that has been leaked and I hope you are making this registry for that final build and not the release preview.
