Easy Vista Back Button?

Aloha all. Just bought an HP laptop with Vista Home Premium. Doesn't seem
very intuitive, possibly because I'm used to XP?
Anyway, is there a way to get a Back button on my folders, rather than going
to the directory? I'm used to the back button and can't seem to snag the
tree concept.
Thanks!

but the birds ate the breadcrumbs....and Hantzel & Gretel were eaten by the
big bad witch...no matter what the book says...

dzomlija told you how to go up one level. Windows Explorer does have a back
button to go to the previously viewed folder.
