Almost all Windows Vista and 7 users complain about missing "Up" button and Titlebar text in Windows Explorer toolbar. We have blogged about "Mavis Up Button" which can bring back the "Up" button but its not free, you need to pay $4.95 to purchase it.
We have also blogged about "AeroBar" which can bring back the titlebar text back in Windows Vista and 7 Explorer.
The good news is that our favorite tool "Classic Shell" can also bring back the good old "Up" button as well as titlebar text and icon in Windows Explorer as you can see in the following screenshot:
We have already blogged about it in past:
Classic Shell: Get Classic Start Menu & Explorer Toolbar Buttons Back in Windows Vista & 7
When we blogged about this tool, it only provided Classic Start menu, Classic Explorer toolbar buttons and a few other things. But now a new version is available which comes with following changes:
- Shows Titlebar text and icon
- Disable Addressbar Breadcrumbs
- Adds "Up" button in Explorer titlebar
- New toolbar icons to match Vista and 7
- New skins for Classic Start menu
- Brings back file size feature in Statusbar
You can visit following link to read more information and download this tool:

Like Internet Explorer 7 and 8 moving the menu to the top with a registry key, is there any way to do that with Windows Explorer on Vista/7?
VG
^^ Sadly not possible.

Any way to get just the up button, not the replace dialog and other stuff?
VG
^^ You can disable those things using its Settings.

The directory path is shown in Explorer's address bar.
Just click on the parent directory to go "UP".
How hard can that be...?

Is there any chance to remove this grey little arrow which shows in this screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/2zok9le/6

Thanx you Vishal!!

VG, the arrow that @TheAslan is talking about is next to the back and forward arrows in Win Explorer, where u can see all the pages and folders you've visited before in that particular windows, like in IE8/7
