Windows – How to restore menu bar in Windows 8 Explorer

windows 8windows-explorer

Is there any way to have the old traditional menu bar in Windows 8 Explorer (like in Windows 7)? I'm not comfortable with Explorer's ribbon bar at all, especially its shortcuts.

My favorite way for creating a text file was to press Alt+F, W, T. I also used Alt+T, O to bring up the Folder Options dialog, but I can't use them anymore.

I have tried ClassicShell but it has no menu bar. Any other options?

You can use xplorer2 or Directory Opus, both of them replace the Ribbon. Also if you just want to disable the ribbon, just double-click on it.
