Up directory button in SP1 ?

Will SP1 give us back the long missed up directory button in explorer?

I think it was a mistake to remove that button, they should at least have
given their customers the choice to ad that button if they wanted to.

I would change the 'burn button' to a 'up directory button' in a heart beat
if I could.

If a up directory button isn't introduced with SP1 does anybody know of a
FREE third party app that will give me just that and nothing more?

Please don't tell me that I will have to pay these guys 5$ for a simple
button that should have been in vistas explorer in the first time:

I wish you all a great week end :-)

What's so hard about using the far-superior bread crumb navigation?

Alt+Up keyboard shortcut takes you up a folder. So, instead of the button,
we had a keyboard shortcut. This works pre-SP1 too.

What's so hard about understanding and recognizing that some of us prefer an
up directory button?

Why can't we have both? Why does it have to be so rigid, why not make it
flexible and give people a choice?

Yes I know about that, but I would really like a button like in XP

the only way I have seen to get one is to install an add on for windows
explorer


see this link here

Vista has been dumbed down in too many ways as it is. If you are too much
of a retard to figure out the breadcrumb bar, maybe you should appeal for
Microsoft to make a special children's operating system, for children and
other people with special needs, like you.

I actually feel it was unfair to say that children are incapable simple
navigation, so I would like to retract what I said about children.

I know children that can use a computer more competently than a few adults I
know, and I was using an Apple ][ when I was eight years old.

So what we need here is a Vista Special Needs Edition, or whatever else the
marketing department feels is appropriate.

there is a breadcrumb in Gnome too, on the file manager

However the way its displayed on the screen is far more clear to the user

Its not about the function, but the presentation of the function

Computers should be easy to use, not hard without a reason, and yes easy for
kids and elderly and sick
and disabled people too

Everyone should have access to computers and the internet, not only geeks.

XP was far better at that than vista.. it was simple clear and user
friendly.

The luna theme may have looked childish (fisher price) but it was clear....

and people still love it for that reason, and hate vista for its hidden
menus and perverted non customizable interface.
