Classic Shell: Forum

I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, but as I don't know what the artifact to which I'm referring is called, I can't search for it.

It's the ... thing ... right below the menubar (File, Edit, View, etc.). I don't want it to be there -- I don't use it, and it's just a waste of space -- but since I don't know what it's called I don't know where to look. I've tried every checkbox that seems even remotely relevant, to no avail.

The contents of this [i]thing[/i] in the attached screen cap (enclosed in a rounded-corner square orange box) are: Organize, Open, Include selected folder in library, Share with, Email, Burn, New Folder. Waste of screen real estate, like the idiotic ribbon bar M$ has saddled us with.
[list=1]
[*]If anyone knows what this [i]thing [/i]is called, please let me know
[*]If anyone knows of a way to make it disappear, please tell me
[*]If it's not possible now, please add it to the to-do list[/list]
Thanks.

It's called the Command Bar. It can't be removed easily without patching Explorer. You can either have it or have the Ribbon which you seem to have disabled using some tool.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

OldNewExplorer, most likely.

Amusingly, OldNewExplorer's custom DLLs actually hold the key

IIRC one can remove the command bar by modifying those DLLs. I know you can move the details pane to the top (Longhorn amirite) by doing that, though I haven't a clue how...
