2008 Server R2 + Classic View Control Panel?

Question

Please say they didn't get rid of Classic View for the Control Panel. Does anyone know how I can change to Classic View in R2?

I strugled with this myself recently. Leave it for this genious to figure how to screw with a bloody menu program.

Tested on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 64 bits on both without any issues.

Enjoy,

Also please say they've set "show known file extensions" and "show hidden files" to enabled? However I fear they haven't...
