My Documents directory-Returning 'Home'

When i am in the My Documents main window and i open a folder, then a subfolder etc, i get further away from the main window;

Each folder is set to Open in the same window.
(Tools-Folder Options-Open each folder in the same window) is chosen.

When i want to return to the main window i may have to press the Back button several times;
is there any easier way (say, with one click!) to return 'Home' i.e the main window?

the keyboard shortcut to move up one directory is the backspace key.

or you could click the down arrow next to back and click my documents

Or make a habit of using Windows explorer with the folder tree view. You get a one click reference to any other folder or drive.

Please explain the above a bit more; what 'down arrow' next to 'back' do you mean?

I think he means the one shown in the attatched image. You should have a similar one in XP.
