Hello Mike, I am trying to find out the answer to the same question. Alt-UP
works, but there must be a mouse button too. Very strange it is gone.
I also find the new folder view less easy to see at a glance what
level/folder you are viewing... Levels should be indented more.

Re: Vista: Windows Explorer missing button for navigate up

The UP button seems to have been taken out of Vista because it is no
longer necessary with the revamped explorer. You can now click on any
directory in the current path and be taken there. For example if you
are in the 'Users' directory, you can just click the 'Local Disk'
directory in the address bar and be taken there. Or if you wish, you
can click multiple levels up and be taken straight to the desired
directory instead of the many blind UP clicks you would use in XP.

Re: Vista: Windows Explorer missing button for navigate up


It's amusing to see people justify the removal of the up button because
they say it's redundant. Nobody seems to mention the iclusion of a
button for Burn.
They took away 'up, cut, paste, copy, copy to, move to, delete' and
gave us 'Burn'. This is an improvement? Are you people kidding me?
