OldNewExplorer

OldNewExplorer is a shell extension and tweaker which can undo "improvements" to file browsing that was added in Windows 10, 8.1 and 8.

It has many options allowing you to completely restore Windows Explorer to the old style or only change what you don't like.

You can restore the devices and drives grouping which made more sense to some in Windows 7 and 8.

You can also restore libraries and remove folders that were added into Windows 8.1 This puts the libraries back to where they were, without registry hacking or breaking apps.
