Win Vista Explorer OldStyle Buttons

I'm new to Vista and trying to configure my WinExplorer as I'm used to it.

In XP I had a lot of buttons for the most used commands - MoveUp, Cut, Copy,
Paste, etc.

Is it true that these buttons are removed in Vista?
If not, please help me find them. Especially I'm missing the MoveUp-command.
MoveBackwards just don't do it for me...

Hi Andreas,

It has been changed in Vista. Click View -> Go To -> Up One Level, or
press Alt + Up Arrow key. See this tutorial for more on the Windows
Explorer Address bar in Vista.

Sorry, the Command Bar is not customizable, but most of the functionality
available in the Move Up command can now be found in the Bread menu which
allows you easily navigate and back track through a folders hierarchy.

they have removed them... sorry

VISTA IS STUPID!

However there is an add-on toolbar that may add for you some of the icons
you need

see here

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...up-button-too/


For cut copy and paste I would suggest you learn to use the keyboard
shortcuts

ctrl+C = COPY
ctrl+X= CUT
ctrl+V= PASTE

GEE VISTA IS STUPID FOR MAKING THE TOOLBARS NON CUSTOMIZABLE!!!!

As an improvement tohelp improve your user experience, Microsoft has
canned the Up button. I too miss it greatly. Well, used to miss it.
Now I just do not use my computer as much as I did before I installed
Vista.

Yes, or alternately, I could click in the address bar, type in the
full path and hit enter. Still nto as convenient as an up button or
hitting backspace.

Or alternately, you could simply click the name of the parent folder that
shows in the address bar, called a "Bread Crumb".

The address bar will now show the full path from the root to the current
directory, and each directory name is now clickable.

In my opinion this is easier to use than the "up" button since if you want
to go "up" more than one directory you can simply click the directory you
want to get to instead of clicking the "up" button multiple times before you
reach your target directory.

If your workflow is faster that way, then bob's your uncle. I still
find that backspace, backspace, backspace, space, arrowdown, enter was
pretty fast (and totally keyboard) to go up 3 directories levels,
select the second subdirectory and open it.

Well, if we were talking about what we consider the easiest way to navigate,
I would have said I would spend my entire computing life at a command
prompt, but when using a GUI, I tend to gravitate toward the mouse . . .

My mouse use really depends on my task at hand. Some days it seems I
go without touching it, other days I rely soley on it. Most times I
am doing a lot of typing in sporratic blocks and using keyboard
shortcuts for navigation, editing, window management, etc.. is just a
lot faster. It sometimes pains me when I am coaching somebody and they
use the Cut, Copy and Paste menu's to do editing (because it takes
them so long to move their hands to the mouse, find the cursor, find
the menu, click the menu, find the keyboard again). In most cases, it
is because they had not figured out there was a faster way. The
lightbulb that goes on over their head when I say "Try Control-C or
Control-V" is sometimes very bright indeed.

Although I am finding that now some people are being forced away from
the mouse - especially with some web apps that have fields with
actions that are triggered by a tab instead of a lose focus.

"Bob's your uncle" is an old slang for "there you go" or "you are all
set".
