This is what it says on the help.ubuntu.com website, but when I go to system settings, it does not have a Launcher & Menus option. I wish I could revert back to the old Ubuntu, I hate this launcher. Is there a fix?
Stop the launcher from showing when I point to the left side of the screen
The launcher unhides when you move your mouse or touchpad pointer to the left side of the screen. If you prefer, you can tell Unity to only show the launcher when you click the top left Ubuntu button instead.
Click the icon at the very right of the top bar and select System Settings.
In the Personal section, click Launcher & Menus.
Choose Touches the top left corner of the screen"

Change the reveal mode for the launcher from left, to the top left corner.
As mentioned in doug's comment, you need to lower the reveal time out to get this to work correctly. It is a bit tricky, but it works.
