Welcome to the forums.
To me, the real top 3 Windows XP "display properties" people long for in Windows 8 are:

1. a REAL Start Button
2. a REAL Start Menu
3. Windows Explorer Windows XP buttons...

Of course the Start Button itself is customizable and the Start Menu us customizable from Windows 95 to Windows 7, whatever *you* want it to be.

Also, this Firefox Add-on integrates your Windows Favorites folder with Firefox so there is no need to sync your Favorites folder at all, and that's something old-school users also want.
