Make IE9 look more like IE8

You can make Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) look more like Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) in Windows in a few ways. I was searching for a site to lay this out for me and found suggestions to uninstall IE9 or install a Windows Classic theme to be unhelpful. Here is what you can do:

One of the most apparent changes was that the tabs were moved up and to the left of the new, combined address/search bar (where you type in the websites). The tradeoff is you gain screen real estate but lose space for tabs. To futher gain screen real estate, the status bar (with the zoom icon on the bottom right), the Favorites bar, and the Command bar were removed.

To place the tabs below the address/search bar:
Right-click a tab or an empty area above the address bar and click "Show tabs on a separate row"

To add back the favorites, command, and status bar:
Press Alt to reveal the menu
Click View - Toolbars and click Favorites bar, Command bar, and Status bar

I don't think you can change Internet Explorer if you do not like the new download dialog, manager, the transparency effects, or the new buttons (back, forward, compatibility view, refresh, or stop)
