Figure 2-6. Top: The notation in the address bar, This PC Documents Summer Pix, indicates that
you opened the Documents folder and then opened the Summer Pix folder inside that.
Bottom: If you press Alt+D, the address bar restores the slash notation of Windows versions gone by
so you can type in a different address.
There are three especially cool things about this address bar:
It’s much easier to read. Those little brackets are clearer
separators of folder names than the older\slash\notation. And
instead of drive letters like C:, you see the drive names.
Tip
If the succession of nested folders’ names is too long to fit the window, then a microscopic
icon appears at the left end of the address. Click it to reveal a drop-down menu showing, from last
to first, the other folders you’ve had to burrow through to get here.
(Below the divider line, you see, for your convenience, the names of all the folders on your
desktop.)
