    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.

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

        yes we need it take this for example you make a search in the explorer then you find a folder and you enter to the folder, if you want to go up one level you cant because in the path is showed the search code.

        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.

        speaking as ...

            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.

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