Disable Auto Pinning

How to Stop Applications Pinning Their Shortcuts automatically to the start screen in windows 8 ?

Due to the feature of Auto pinning of installed software on the start screen in windows 8, we get so many tiles (some are useful but all are not important) on the start screen. This makes us confused and also makes the start screen cluttered. These tiles are the shortcuts to the installed applications. When we install any application, it creates and pin a tile on the start screen without notifying the user. Although we need the tiles of some installed applications for our frequently access, but we don’t need the shortcuts of all software to be pinned on the start screen. So if we wish to delete the pinned tile, we can easily do that. But again we install another application, the new tile will be created. So if you wish a permanent solution to this problem, you should use the software “AutoPin Controller”. This software is a great way to control the pinning of installed applications automatically. This can help you disabling the auto pinning and customizing the start screen.
