Computer trivia

Explorer in Vista does not have the ‘up’ key. Instead the entire path is shown in the address bar and one is allowed to reach the folder required by clicking on it. However this does not work always, say when the window is not in the maximum sixe and when you are pretty deep in the folder structure. In these cases, the entire path cannot be seen and quickly clicked upon.

However, there is a way to get back the ‘up’ button like the one in Windows XP. You will not get the button as such, but there is a key board short cut that works exactly like the ‘Up’ button.

‘Alt + Up Arrow’

This key combination can be used as the ‘Up’ button. So, if you want to quickly jump to the desktop, keep pressing ‘Alt + Up Arrow’ repeatedly.

Other shortcuts:
‘Alt + Left Arrow’     Back
‘Alt + Right Arrow’    Forward
