I's there any way for me to switch back to the old style showing under "Places"? Now, when I click on "Places", this is what I see:

Thanks!

Hi, which part of that menu is confusing, specifically?

Oh, there's absolutely nothing about this menu that's "confusing" at all. My question is, and it's just my preference, how do I get it to look like the old "Places" menu again, like this example from my laptop?

When you reach a certain number of bookmarks, they stop appearing directly in the menu and appear under a Bookmarks submenu.

I don't think you can change this attribute, but you can look in gconf-editor and dconf-editor and see if there's any item there that changes the number of bookmarks you need in order for it to appear in the submenu.

I also, would like to do away with the task bar down the side, and revert back to "the look of" version 10.10, I think that is what (mdavis1231) wants

You were exactly right. I removed the Google Drive "bookmark", and now it looks the same as my laptop again. Apparently, there's a limit of 8 or 9 folders that you can have "bookmarked", then, like you said above, it compacts and they appear under a Bookmarks submenu. Thanks!!!
