When I do a search in W Explorer, I'm getting groupings. That's nice, but I'd like to turn it off. In Vista I did that using the VIEW pulldown menu. But, the "traditional" menu bar isn't there.

Can I turn that menu bar on? Or, if not, can I remove groupings.

Right click an empty space, then Group>None.

To get the Menu Bar back, go to Organize>Layout>Menu Bar.
