I just upgraded to Windows 7, and I don't like some of the UI upgrades.
I would like to revert back the right click menu at the taskbar for the tabs to Vista. I can't close it like I used to. I don't like the fact that I have to move my mouse upwards quite a bit (compared to a slight nudge to the right in Vista) to close a tab.
I also like to change the placement of tabs on the taskbar. I have some shortcuts pinned on the taskbar. When I open the icon, the tab is located at the location of the icon. I hate that. It looks so ugly and inconvenient. Can I change it so the tab opens regularly to the rightmost place on the taskbar like every other program?
There is a small space between the top of the monitor and to the topmost icon. That is super annoying. I like to just move my mouse to the edge of the screen to open My Computer, but with this I have to move it slightly down. Very annoying. Right now I have align icon to grid off so I have move the icon a little bit up, but moving other icons is messy. How do I change that?
I have another keyboard, I press ctrl+space to switch between English and Chinese. In Windows 7 I can do that to switch from English to Chinese, but I can't do that to switch it back. I have to press shift+alt. How can I change it so it switches between keyboards with just ctrl+space?
How do I view control panel in folder view? Folder view is just so much convenient.
EDIT: One more thing. How do I close the MSN tab on my taskbar without exiting the program? I don't like having one extra tab on my taskbar all the time.
Sorry for the long list of questions! Thanks everyone who answers.

I found this tool.

It solves some of the problems. For me it reverted the Shift button, so I can use right-click to get the old menu and Shift+right-click to get the new jumplist. I hate how they made the "Close" command smaller and farther from the mouse. It also jumps up, so I have to chase it. I guess that's why they call them "jumplists"
Try the other options also. Some affect the grouping of programs, so maybe it will make the new buttons always add at the end like you ask.
I don't know about MSN - but maybe if you unpin the app it will work like you want it.
