Many Windows Vista and 7 users complain about the missing "Up" button in Windows Explorer. The Up button can be found in all previous Windows versions but its strange that Microsoft decided to remove it from Vista and 7.
But there is no need to miss it any more. There is a small utility "Mavis Up Button" which can bring back the "Up" button in Vista and 7 Explorer.
Its not a freeware. You'll need to purchase it . It costs $4.95 which I think is not very high and everyone can spend to get this cool software.
You can also try it for 5 days for free.
NOTE: If you don't want to use 3rd party software, then you can use the Windows built-in shortcut key. You can press "Alt+Up Arrow" keys to go to one level up in Explorer. Similarly you can use "Alt+Left Arrow" and "Alt+Right Arrow" to go back and forward respectively.

Nice option.
Can you tell me which file this edits? Is it the Shellstyle (under NormalColor)?
I'd like to mess around with the toolbar myself, but i need to know where to look.
ALso does anyone know where the files are for Office 2007 so I can manually change the appearance??
Thanks

The back button is hopeless for someone like me you has most application data in the root directory. The address bar only goes to username and not to c:/ which I need.
Not sure why Microsoft had to RETIRE it instead of making an option one could turn on. I think Microsoft treated it so bad it QUIT !

you made a typing mistake in explorer somewhere in the 3 last lines.
lol
I love it. We now have to pay for a 3rd party utility for the most obvious feature on Windows explorer.
