How to go “up one level” in Windows Explorer

There is no “up one button” like in Windows XP () but with the know-how, you’ve still got it and can still get to where you want to go with the littlest of troubles.

As above, the Program Files directory is highlighted - if you wanted to go there, then just click on it. However if you were in the Windows Vista [Z:] directory and you wanted to go to the Computer, you just click on Computer - it’s really as simple as that.

The little arrows () allow you to browse the directories around that particular place. So if you were to pick up the Computer arrow, you’d be able to see your hard drives, your flash drives and network locations.

Don’t forget, once you’ve got the window in focus, you can easily press the Backspace key to go up a level, just like in Windows XP.
