    Can I create a "Up one level" button?


    After performing a search for an item/folder, it's really annoying that I can't simply click on a button to go up levels/folders after finding the item I searched for. As it is now, I have to click on "View > Go to > Up one level" every time I want to go up a level.

    Hi Maleko333,

    I thought that at first using Windows 7 too, but when you figure out how to use the new address bar to access the folder tree, it makes a lot more sense! To see what I mean, read ScottW's post in this thread: How to show the "Up" button on Windows 7? How-To Geek Forums

    Great to know!

    This always bothered me too. I like how they do a semi-breadcrumb in the address bar, but sometimes a nice UP button is just easier.
