fancy upload question

I have a quick question.

is there a way to revert from the fancy uploader in 2.10.3 back to the old file uploader? I can't seem to see a setting for it the settings admin area.

Also I have the back end protected by .htaccess authentication.

I got it to work by putting the code below into .htaccess:

<Files upload.php>
order allow,deny
allow from all
satisfy any
</Files>

Is this the proper way to do it? Is there a more secure way to do it?

Thanks in advance

In "Personal Data" is the Use Fancy Upload setting - so it becomes a users choice.
Dunno re Question 2 sorry.

Thank you.
