Entered "Classic View" in the search box It came up with the following: ======================== To use Windows classic folders Open Folder Options in Control Panel. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Folder Options. On the General tab, under Tasks , click Use Windows classic folders. Note Choosing this option hides the default task links in the left pane of Windows folders, such as My Documents. It also makes the Category view in Control Panel unavailable. ========================= That's it.
