I've actually had a change of mind about this pile of poo.
I've spent a couple of hours sorting it out and getting it to resemble XP as much as I can, and it's worked.

the folders being the main thing I didn't like with the Ribbons thing. I don't like the icon views (either too big or too small) now I've got it looking a lot like XP and I have to say you wouldn't really know that it was Windows 8 anymore.

I don't like the fact that you can't see the total amount each folder uses in size on the status bar like you could in XP.

The metro thing isn't too bad now. I automatically bypass that at startup, and I only use it for the apps and if I have to change settings.
