Classic Explorer

The Classic Explorer option is great for those who want the same buttons as in XP. You might have to do a bit of tweaking to see them however. If you don't see them right away, with Explorer open hit the key combo "Alt+T" and select Folder Options.

In the Folder Options window under the View tab, check the box next to Always show menus, then click Apply and Ok.

Now right-click on the Menu Bar and choose Classic Explorer Bar. You will see the Classic Bar to the right of Explorer.

If you want to move them, right-click on the Menu Bar and uncheck Lock the toolbars.

Then you can drag it over to the left side. If you want to make the Classic buttons larger, click on Classic Explorer Settings.

Then select use big buttons, and here you can also change other settings to fit your preferences.

Another neat change is when you go to shutdown or restart the machine, you get the classic shutdown screen.
