  Use breadcrumb navigation in Vista instead of the Up button
Time: 23:59 EST/04:59 GMT | News Source: TechRepublic | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Greg Shultz: As you probably know by now, Im always on the lookout for great gadgets or PowerToy-like utilities that you can add to Microsoft Windows Vista to enhance the operating system. While on a recent utility search operation, I encountered a number of programs that were designed to add an Up button to Vistas Explorer interface.

While at first glance, I thought that such a tool might be an operating system enhancement, I quickly reconsidered. In fact, I began to think that such a tool would actually be detrimental, in that it would prevent users from using Vistas breadcrumb navigation system.

Then it hit me that the reason such a tool would exist in the first place was that users might not realize how much better navigation system the breadcrumb is when compared to the Up button. Furthermore, adding an Up button to Vista could be viewed as a waste of space and resources as it is actually duplicating a feature that is already built into the operating system.
