Hello. Yes, I've managed to get the original PC Settings Tile in Windows 8 Consumer Preview (However it doesn't work). Well, I went to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and I noticed that there was a PC Settings Link. Well, initially the option "Pin to start" was absent because I needed to take ownership of that file. So I went on Security tab, changed owner etc. , and in the link properties, in the "target" textbox, there was written "notused" so, if I had wanted to apply settings I would have had to enter something in that textbox. (I wrote "C:\Windows\ImmersiveControlPanel"). So after that, I could pin that PC Settings shortcut to the start screen and I got the original tile! But unfortunately, if I click on it, nothing happens . I think this happens because I had to change text in the "target textbox". Screenshot:
