The new Control Panel in Windows 7 can be difficult for someone to use if they are used to the classic control panel from Windows 2000 and below. But, there is a way to switch to quickly switch to the Classic view of the control second in 1 second.
All you have to do is go to your control panel in Windows 7, and in the View by menu click “Large icon” from the drop down list.
The only thing that is missing is the Sidebar which Microsoft did not include in Windows 7.

xplorer2 Lite is an Windows Explorer File Management Alternative which resembles the Windows Explorer from Windows 2000 and Win 9x except it has a lot more features, and customization. It is also easy to use. I like how easy it is to add a new button and remove a button I barely use in the toolbar. The most useful tool on xplorer2 lite is the Shred button since it allows users to shred files, so they are harder to recover. I also like the status bar and the file menus better then the one in Vista or 7. Xplorer is also very stable. It never crashes when I use it.
