Allow a superior linguist to help here. He means he searched using the search toolbox in Windows Explorer.

It's a Windows 7 feature I guess, and I assume you are on Vista or earlier?

Nope, 7 at home and work.
Maybe send a picture.

Yeah, I don't have that. And I wouldn't use it. Maybe I got rid of it somehow. :shrug:

Odd.

That's correct, but you can use the back arrow to go to the previous directory. And if you think about it a search result does not have an upper level directory.

In the location bar, you can click one of the ancestor folders to navigate to it (including the direct parent). So they basically have ancestor buttons rather than a single parent button. Makes sense to me.

I always referred to these as a breadcrumb trail...

Indeed, that is a good label to apply to it. Though breadcrumbs sometimes show where you've been rather than just the hierarchy above where you are, and I wanted to make the point that the "button" didn't disappear... it just changed form.

Now that you mention it...apparently not, I didn't notice it was missing.

I miss the whole elephanting toolbar in windows explorer. Now, I get a stupid thing which asks me if I want to "burn". Not sure what that means ? Is it "burn in hell" ? What's the matter with these Microsoft guys ? Have they suddenly got religion or what ?

Very funny, Sahir.

I did at first; but now I've been assimilated.
The new way is better.
|
|
|
|
|
The new way is hit and miss, and sometimes just shows the current folder, for some reason. Lots of times an "up" button would be easier.
|
|
|
|
|
Press "alt+up" and done...
Or any of the address bar fragments...
It is muuuuch better than before...
|
|
|
|
|
Just click on the name of the directory folder in the address bar that is one up from where you are. With that technique, you aren't limited to going up one level at a time. Much quicker.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

You get the same effect when you unbutton your pants.

Hopefully, when I enable IPv6, I won't get arrested
