no thats not correct, whenever you press this button within a folder window you go ONE folder up, not back or anything else - its 1 folder up. Same for most Linux IDE's and I believe also in MacOs but I am not certain for the mac.
just hit Backspace - that will go 1 folder hierarchy up, always remove those icons Use mouse button 4 + 5 (every decent mouse has that) to move forward and back in the folder structure.
@Pior - It looks like I deleted all the pages I had bookmarked trying to fix the folder view but the registry additions can be downloaded from: http://thewinforums.com/topic/23106-resolvedremember-folder-settings-finally-works/ and: http://dotnetwizard.net/vista-stuff/make-vista-remember-the-folder-view-settings-like-xp/ I…

@pior: as for the desktop thing what I always do is hitting [win]+[r] (run command) and then type "desktop" it will open the desktop folder. If you did it a few times before already you most likely just have to type and use the autocompletion. Same for the url navigation, just hit F6 to jump to it and enter "desktop" and…
Oh man - I hav erecently made the switch to Vista and this was SUCH a pain. It seems like such a small thing but working with multiple file types, folders and needing to switch between checking reference pics (thumbnails) and selecting files (detail view> Date Modified) it really got frustrating. I finally managed to sort…
