How to create a Windows can run top of Metro UI under windows8c

Steps:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/toolsforwinapps/thread/8529357f-3ff8-4c83-baaf-5215ca9cc14a

1. Create new Win32 Project
2. Finish the wizard with no changes
3. Change the CreateWindow call to CreateWindowEx and set WS_EX_TOPMOST
4. Go to Project.Properties... Linker.Manifest File
5. Change UAC Bypass UI Protection to: Yes (/uiAccess='true')
6. Build
7. Use signtool to sign the test app
8. Copy the test app into Program Files
9. Run test app
10. Bring up the Start screen -> test app is on top 

1. The application must demand uiAccess (app.manifest)
2. The application must assert “topmost” window positioning (either in Win32/SetWindowPos or WinForms/WPF’s “Topmost” property, programmatically or otherwise)
3. Without making changes to the group policy setting, it must be installed to some trusted location [C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86)].
   1. Note: If you want to be able to run it out of an arbitrary location, you must disable the security setting: “User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations”.
   2. Note2: This is the same as setting HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\ValidateAdminCodeSignatures to 0
4. Said application cannot be ran in the debugger
5. If it’s a .NET application
   1. The manifest must be embedded in a post-build step
   2. The application must have “delayed signing” (meaning it cannot be ran from the built-in debugger, although you can build and attach – this is what Microsoft does)
6. The application must be signed with a trusted certificate.
7. Said trusted certificate must be installed to the Trusted Root Certificate Authority (this is important! It must not just simply installed)

If you met the error"A referral was returned from the server", you could resolve it by this way:

1) Open an elevated command prompt

- Click start
- Find Cmd Shell or command prompt
- Right-click, click Run As Administrator

2) Create a trusted root certificate

- Browse to the folder that you wish to contain a copy of the certificate
- In the command shell, execute the following commands:

    makecert -r -pe -n "CN=Test Certificate - For Internal Use Only" -ss PrivateCertStore testcert.cer

    certmgr.exe -add testcert.cer -s -r localMachine root

3) Sign your file

- In the command shell, browse to the location of your exe
- In the command shell, type:

SignTool sign /v /s PrivateCertStore /n "Test Certificate - For Internal Use Only" /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll APP.exe

Where APP.exe is your application.
