No, that's kind of the point. It's not something Windows XP/Vista/whatever made worse by hiding it or even taking it away. It simply is not available.

macOS works like this though, IIRC, and no other way.

I'm not really exploring the origin of the problem; I'm just saying it's dumb and a pain in the ass.
