Default Getting back File, View, Tools etc in W8

How can I get these back in W8's WindowsExplorer? I thought ClassicShell
would do it but that didn't happen. I miss these functions as I use them
all the time. I can't find anything on Google to help as I apparently don't
know what to search for.

While you can not return to the identical headings that you had in older
versions of Windows. You can open a drop down menu with many options by
clicking the down arrow in the upper right of the Windows Explorer screen.

On the upper left, again at the top, there is another down arrow.
Clicking it, will give you a list of things that will permanently appear
at the top of the window, plus you can place the icons above or below
the normal four icons. I like to keep these icons above, as I can see
and use them after I get the drop down menu by clicking on the standard
icons

Are you talking about File Explorer's menu?

Yes. Got that handled with Mr Nuttle's information.

Thanks, I never saw those small gray arrows. I probably would have never
noticed them. Clicking on the options I see the choice for the old
ClassicExplorerBar. This will work.
