Click on the Organize button, then on the Layout selection, then uncheck Navigation Pane.

Thanks.. Dat got rid of the navigation pane, however, I would still prefer the split window for the Windows Explorer. Is that possible, Or is I a bit too picky? There are a few things I still prefer from Windows XP, doncha know?

What to you want in the other pane? That's the navigation pane, so you'd have to add it back and then customize it for your needs.
