why even change to that crappy os anyway...

in any case...
i don't know what you did to change that layout without knowing how to change it back....

well... to change that again...
hit "Win" + "R" keys on your keyboard and type "regedit"
browse to
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid"
here you will see "Layout_MaximumRowCount"
by default it shouldn't be there
but in your case it should show "1"
change that to a desired number of rows you want to show...


once done editing log out and re log in to see the effect...
