Internet Explorer 10 Desktop Mode Only in Windows 8

Windows 8 will occasionally open web shortcuts with the app-version of Internet Explorer. This does not sit well with users that need the fully featured desktop version-- especially for corporate websites that have strict protocols in place for security.

There is an option to always use the desktop version buried in the Internet Options. To set Internet Explorer to desktop mode only; open Control Panel and select Internet Options. Select the tab "Programs" and from the pull down menu choose "Always in Internet Explorer on the Desktop". For consistency, you will want to check the box marked : Open Internet Explorer tiles on the desktop. 

Below is a visual guide to finding this in the menus :
