Just wondering but, is there any way to go back to the classic/XP explorer in Vista? Because I really don't like the new address bar, the forward/back buttons, or how the new "classic" menu bar is placed UNDER THE ADDRESS BAR. I also don't like clicking the address bar to show the exact full path (C:\blah\blah\bla) of where I am; when in XP/2000 I can see it without clicking! I also want my common tasks bar to the way they were in XP.

I'd also like to get rid of the bar that says "Organize / Views / Burn / Etc." that appears under the classic menus in explorer. Or the "get help" button.

I don't want a silly trial or have to buy something to get this to work like this (IE: xplorer^2) so please refrain from posting trial software or software you have to buy.

Also, I run Vista x64, NOT x86!

Is any of this possible in my Vista?

And the only one out of those I show interest to is Cubic Explorer, which says works on Vista, but isn't supported, so x64 vista will only a dream for me on it.
