How to add the "up" button in the Explorer

If you are using Windows 7 or Vista operating system, it certainly noticed that in the Explorer toolbar button is not to go up one level. Yes, you can certainly use the new address bar to navigate to the parent folder, but many users still find it more convenient to do it using a special button.

To solve this problem, you can use a small plug-in for Windows Explorer called ClassicShell. This program makes a lot of features from the good old Windows XP in the standard shell Windows 7, but here I will describe only what concerns the buttons "up".

1. Download the and install the latest version ClassicShell. Please note that even during the installation process need to note what plug-ins are needed - if you are satisfied with the standard seven menu, then clear the check mark on "Classic Start Menu«.

2. Restart Explorer. To do this, simply log off and go again.

3. Open any Explorer window, press the Alt, to show the menu bar, and then right-click on an empty space in the row and from the context menu Classic Explorer Bar.

4. You will see a new toolbar. The right-most button brings ClassicShell settings window where you can specify which buttons you want to see, as well as many other advanced options. Since we are primarily interested in the "up", make sure that option is selected Show Up Button in the title bar.

5. Now do the opposite action described in paragraph 3, that is, hide toolbar Classic Explorer Bar.

The result of our actions in the toolbar of any Explorer window will appear to move the button up to the parent folder, as shown in the first screenshot.
