Can I right click explore the start on in Windows 7 to get the old explorer?

Okay, so I am very accustomed to right clicking the start bar in XP and Vista, and then selecting "explore" from the GUI. On Windows 7 when I click the renamed "Open Windows Explorer" I am left extreamly disappointed with the horrible functionality of the new explorer. Is there any way to get a Visa/Xp explorer style?
