The '..' folder??
Is there any way to bring back the '..' folder in Windows Explorer? Having
to drag the mouse halfway across my desk to hit the back button (which is not really what I wanted to do anyway) is becoming a real pain. Thanks, Jim |

The '..' folder??
Hello,
If you look at the top of the explorer window where the address bar used to be, you can click on any element in that path to go to that folder. For example, if it says: Computer - Local Disk (C - Windows - System32 You can click Windows to go up one level, or Local Disk (c to go up two levels. Having said that, I haven't seen the '..' folder since Windows 3.x; however, I think there are 3rd party explorer replacements that offer this feature. -- - JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |

The '..' folder??
Hi, Jimmy.
I haven't seen the '..' folder since Windows 3.x You must mean you haven't see it IN EXPLORER. It's still there in the Command Prompt window - and still very useful. But I really like the "bread-crumb" method of accessing upstream folders in the path in Vista's Explorer. RC -- R. C.

Hello,
snip You must mean you haven't see it IN EXPLORER. It's still there in the Command Prompt window - and still very useful. Yes, that's what I meant. I don't consider typing it out as 'seeing' it . But I really like the "bread-crumb" method of accessing upstream folders in the path in Vista's Explorer. Me too. RC -- R. C.

I will 'assume' that "permissions" permitting applies here. been walking the RDA path since early DOS days. Steve |
