Post subject:  Classic Explorer Bar position on Windows 8.1

Hello,
Great software and really many thanks for it. Helps keep those new Windows releases sane.
One question. I just got a Windows 8.1 tablet, and try to install Classis Explorer. Installation's fine, only, I cannot move the Classic Explorer Bar (change it's position), as I used to on Win7. Upon first launch, the bar was on the lower right side, under address bar and search line. I tried to move it, it moved to the left side and now is stuck there. Cannot move it at all, anymore. Even to the position it was initially. It's not locked, I get those "arrows" which suppose to move it but the bar doesn't follow them.
Is that because of Win8.1?
Classic Explorer Bar has a separate line now, and I'd like to move it next to address bar, to the upper line (it would move address bar and make it shorter but it's ok). That's how I used to do on 7.
Something can be done here, or, Win 8.1 doesn't allow to move the bar, at all? Looks odd to me...
Thanks!

The Classic Explorer toolbar has never been next to the address bar on any version of Windows.
On Windows 7 you could put it next to the menu, because the menu was also a toolbar of sorts. On Windows 8 since it is the only toolbar, it ends up being alone on a new line.

You could use Winaero Ribbon Disabler to disable the Explorer Ribbon: http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.20 Then you will get the menu bar back and will be able to move the Classic Explorer toolbar next to the menu bar and lock it like Windows 7.
