I don’t want to use the search bar. I want them back in the proper locations. I’ve been an admin level user for 20 years. I don’t like be reduced to using search bars.

I long used the full path to get to Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter in Windows XP (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools) and now just type ‘Disk’ in the search bar and there they are. It saves a lot of time. I also find things like the TPM console by just typing TPM.msc instead of hunting around for it. Saves a lot of time.
While there maybe are arguments for knowing where things are even if you do know where they are (like with the aforementione tools) you can still get to them faster with the search bar.
Like you I didn’t take easily to the changes, but once I did I really started to like them. Now I rely on them. I’m also a huge fan of the Aero features in Windows 7 for saving time on the Desktop.
It would be bad enough, but in Win7 if you create a favorite TAB in the favorites BAR by mistake, try getting rid of it!
If it ain't broke, don't "fix it."
