Hi,

Dozens of people have explained to me why I do not need an "Up" button
in Windows Explorer (meaning directory up). So do not try to explain to
me how I can live without it. I may not need it just like I do not need
a lot of the things I use on my computer. I want it though because I
choose to be stubborn and stupid and afraid of learning new things
(just trying to avoid some troll-remarks always following this topic).
I know there are elegant ways to traverse directories in Vista's
Explorer, but the "Up" button is so intuitive and "in my blood" that I
miss it. What I do not understand is why it was removed. Not enough
room? Or was someone in MS trying to make a statement like: "Thou shalt
not use an up button".

Beats me. Oh well, I'm using FreeCommander for all my file management
these days. It has a up button and a up icon on top of each directory
listing pane. Btw, FreeCommander is so good it's a miracle it's free.
If you start digging into that program you will find you can create a
beast of a file manager doing everything related to files twice as fast
as Explorer including FTP, network, archiving and syncing. Amazing.

Still, I want my "Up" button in Explorer back :P
