Hi . . . it's me again.

Where are the arrows to press to go up and down? I see back and forward and
backward but no up or down.

Re: Where are the arrows to press to go up and down?

Are you talking about Windows Explorer?

Vista uses something called the breadcrumb bar. Clicking back an item or
two in the address bar (the default is the breadcrumb bar) is the same as an
UP arrow. There is a down-facing carat just to the left of the address bar.
Clicking there shows some places where you have come from to reach the
present folder and level and serves well as a down arrow.

If you mean something else, sorry I missed the point from your brief
description.

Re: Where are the arrows to press to go up and down?

Thanks for replying. I've been used to Windows since Windows 95 came out.
On Windows Explorer, there are 4 arrows, pointing up, down, backwards and
forward. The up and down arrows were good to use when you're inside a
subfolder that's inside 3, 4 or 5, etc folders. I found that, on the right
hand side, I can select folders or the C drive.

Re: Where are the arrows to press to go up and down?

The disadvantage of the up and down arrows is that you must click for each
intervening level to reach the desired one. The breadcrumb bar allows you
do move to a non-contiguous level with one click.

The Vista beta team came to believe that the arrows were redundant since you
can still click one level at a time if you want to and most of the techbeta
testers came to agree that the breadcrumb bar was a faster and more
intuitive navigation device.

Everybody coming from XP says the same thing at first glance. And I mean
everybody. But the breadcrumb bar does grow on one with use.

In any case, its all a done deal now so I hope you come to like Vista's
tool. Enjoy.

Re: Where are the arrows to press to go up and down?

At this point, if I could install my motherboard software, I'd be doing
really good. Without it, I can't install other programs that need files from
the disk.
