Easy Vista Back Button?

Aloha all. Just bought an HP laptop with Vista Home Premium. Doesn't seem
very intuitive, possibly because I'm used to XP?
Anyway, is there a way to get a Back button on my folders, rather than going
to the directory? I'm used to the back button and can't seem to snag the
tree concept.
Thanks!

I guessing you mean the "UP" button, that takes you one level up
right

The Vista "Breadcrumb Bar" works much better.

Lets say you're in the folder "E:\Pictures\Nature\Animals\Wildlife
(displayed in Explorer Breadcrumb Bar a
"E:*>*Pictures*>*Nature*>*Animals*>*Wildlife") , and you wanted to ge
back to "E:\Pictures\Nature". With the traditional "UP" button, you'
have to click it twice to get there. In Vista, all you have to do i
click on "Nature" in the breadcrumb bar to get back there. If you wher
to click on the little arrow between "Nature" and "Animals", you'd get
drop-down menu of subfolders that exist within the "Nature" folder

Hope that help

dzomlija told you how to go up one level. Windows Explorer does have a back
button to go to the previously viewed folder.
