In Explorer, go to Control Panel.

Then, from the top menus, choose "View" "Explorer Bar" "Folders"

The word "Folders" should have a "tick" next to it and by clicking on it you dismiss
the folders at the side and is replaced by the default "helpful tasks" which in
Control Panel include :

"Switch to Category View"

(you get the same thing if you press the [X] in the corner of the "Folders"
side-panel in explorer to close the "Folders" view)

Here is a minor irritation. Whenever I click Control Panel, I see Classical View
with about 40+ icons.
But I am more familiar with handling Category View. How can I change from
Classical to Category View.

In fact, when my children visited us, they changed Start Menu into Classical Start
Menu on my laptop.
I changed it to the default Start Menu. But Control and other menus still remain
in classical view. Jorge
