Moving to the Next Folder Above

Is there a way to move up a folder like there was in XP? In XP there
was this icon http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3936/0119.png
Clicking it moved you to the folder above. Is there such a feature in
Vista? I've been unable to find one.

To be certain we are talking about the same thing. Double click and
enter a folder on your Desktop. Once there, how do you move to the
folder above that folder?

Alt + Up Arrow
Vista: Goes to the parent folder.

He conveniently chose a folder where that system works. Rather than
his convienent choice, do as I suggest in my original post. Create a
folder on your desktop -- just accept the default nam "New Folder".
Now double click on New Folder to enter it. How do I use that system
to move to the next folder up?

Click on the little "Black Arrow," it should make a drop-down menu
appear.

Click on the "Desktop" spot that I put a red box around. This *IS* the
parent folder of something on your desktop.

Hope I helped.
