--- Now log off or kill explorer and restart it from Task Manager --> New Task by typing explorer in the new task box and hitting enter.
--- Now open My Computer and press the Alt key or Click on Organise --> Layout --> Menu Bar to make the Menu Bar visible.
--- Now from the menu bar select View --> Toolbars and then select QT Tab Bar and QT Tab Standard Buttons.
--- Now both of them are active and you will see something like this.
--- Now right click on double arrow as shown in the above image and Click customize
--- Select the Up one level option from the left pane and press the add button on the right to add it to your menu bar. As shown below. Remove any options you don't want from right side.
--- Don't forget to untick the option Lock toolbar so that you can move the toolbar anywhere you want on the menu bar.
