That function is gone in Windows 7 and cannot be restored. &nbsp;If you really would like the up arrow (parent directory) or need it, I use xPlorer2 (zabkat.com) as a Windows Explorer replacement.

Once thing I miss is the Up arrow in the toolbar, to go to the parent directory (not the previous directory). I guess alt+up arrow accomplishes this, but not as convenient.
