"Up One Level" Problem

If this is wrong newsgroup, my apologies in advance. In some programs when I
go to open a file the default location is "Desktop" and the toolbar doesn't
give me the option of going "Up One Level." Really annoying.

Access to files works in Word just fine with a default to "My Documents."
But in MS Digital Image Pro, for example, I can't get above my Desktop.

Thanks.

Click to expand...

In Explorer (My Computer for instance) View>Toolbars>Standard toolbar

This will give you the Up arrow.

I believe you'll find that Desktop is the highest level
available within the hierarchy established by Windows Explorer.
The Open and Save dialogs use that hierarchy. For example, MS
Word displays the My Documents folder because of a setting
within the program's Options dialog. From there, if you keep
hitting the Backspace key, which is the equivalent of clicking
on the "Up folder", you'll find that Desktop is the highest
level.

What you're looking to accomplish is actually going down in the
folder hierarchy. Since I'm not familiar with MS Digital Image
Pro, I can't give you any specific advice other than to suggest
you look for a setting in the program's Options dialog where
you can change the default location for saved files.

Good luck
