Operating System: Windows 8.1

Charms Bar Customizer is a portable tool and requires no installation. Simply download it from the link provided at the end of this post, extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to a folder of your choice, and launch the application to start using it. You’ll probably need to click ‘Yes’ when a User Account Control dialog pops up. You will then be presented with a miniature representation of the Charms bar, which can be used to keep track of the changes you make.

* One thing that is worth mentioning here, based on our testing, is that the application does occasionally fall over. Should you find that Charms Bar Customizer crashes before Explorer has a chance to restart, you can restart it manually as follows:

1. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del at the same time and then click the ‘Task Manager’ link.

2. In the Task Manager window that appears,

click the ‘File’ menu and select ‘Run new task’.

3. Type “explorer” or “explorer.exe” in the Run box that appears and click OK.
