So i've been given a PC for my new job, running windows 7, and not having used anything MS since win2000, i'm lost.
How can I at least start with getting back to the classic start menu? all i get is this uneditable monstrosity where I have to click twice to get to 'all programs', and then that menu is totally uneditable, may as well be a mac because the right mouse-button does nothing. and, i don't see an option to get rid of the 'search' box at the bottom of the start menu.
Also, in file explorer there isn't even an 'up one folder' button.
I've poked around in control panel->personalisation and folder options, i've got it back to grey, blue, and boxy looking, after an hour i found how to get 'file/edit/view' back, but all i get for navigation is back/forward, no up. and every folder has this goddamn 'organise/library/share/burn' menubar that i can't figure out how to get rid of.
Speaking of which, what's this 'libraries' crap and how can i get rid of it completely?
any ideas? (unfortunately, 'revert to windows2000' and 'install KDE for windows' aren't an option)
