Disabling Breadcrumb Navigation

Is there any way to use real file paths by default instead of breadcrumbs in
the Explorer address bar? Breadcrumbs (and segue UI) is the thing that I hate
most about vista, if anyone could help me I'd GREATLY appreciate it.

RE: Disabling Breadcrumb Navigation

Aren't breadcrumbs just arrows replacing the Colons and backslashes?
Forgive me if I misunderstand...

I think anything new just needs time to get used too...
Been using Vista since sept, and am just discovering how cool it is...
No I don't work for MS...

Re: Disabling Breadcrumb Navigation

Especially since there's no more UP button in Explorer, these are critical.
I think I have read about a hack to turn it off before but I don't remember
where. You can also click the icon all the way to the left of the address
bar to see the real file path.

RE: Disabling Breadcrumb Navigation

Well the problem is all of those symbolic links that make it impossible to
know where you actually are...
