Vista folder navigation

In XP, when you were looking through your various folders, you had the option of "back", "forward", or "up". In vista, I can not find the "up" button anywhere. It makes it a real pain to go up from say program files, to C drive.

Anyone know anything about this?

I don't have windows Vista but I have Vista Transformation Pack which the folder navigation is similar to genuine vista. What you might be able to do is Click view, and then click toolbars, under that menu click customize and then click the up button and add it to the tool bar.

Not sure if that will work for vista but I hope it helps!

Instead of clicking the buttons you could just click on the name of the drive on the address bar.
So if you're in Program files your address bar should read:
Computer>Vista (C>Program Files
Click on Vista C: and you should get back to the root. The UP button was removed cos it was essentially redundant.
