Yes, you can change this preference under:
Applications -> Desktop Preferences -> Windows

Nautilus now has two viewing modes: spatial and navigational. The side
bar feature is only available in navigational mode. If you want nautilus
to open all windows in navigational mode by default, open up Nautilus's
preferences, click the Behavior tab and select "Always open in browser
windows"

If you right click your panel and choose add to panel, there are 2 menu
bars you can choose. The "Main Menu" choice has the two combined.
