Declined File Explorer

[David Simpson]

It would be helpful if File Explorer had an "up directory" button to go "up" one level to the parent directory.

It would be. But it's a Microsoft control, and they didn't provide that option.

I'm not sure whether it's in File Explorer or not, but if you install the free add-on QTTabBar.exe the address bar at the top has a back-arrow and an up-arrow.

Note that there is a version 1308 that needs to be installed, then 1309 is an update. I have 1308 installed on multiple Win 7 and Win 10 PC's, both 32- and 64-bit and I haven't had any problems.
