Hi,

in all prior Windows versions, there was an folder icon in the topleft
corner of the explorer. When you right click it, or drag-drop it, it acts as
the folder you're just viewing.

This does not work with Vista - at least for me. Where has it gone?
My very problem in detail:
- How to get the "Command Here" menu for the "current" folder - not a sub
folder

You can also double click it for the default (bold) action, which is Close.
I remember missing that too, but I think I found a way of still doing it.
Not much use, as I have forgotten it. Can you do it by using the Properties
panel at the bottom?

Maybe it is by SHIFT+right clicking the Titlebar at the top? Try hunting
around. I really do remember finding a replacement for that behaviour
somewhere.

Can't you SHIFT+right click in the white space within the folder (not on an
icon)?
