Vista FAQ 5. What makes navigation easier in Vista? What is a breadcrumb trail?
A. They may not have worked for Hansel and Gretel, but “breadcrumbs” are at the center of navigation in Windows Explorer–and they do the job quite well. The address bar in Windows Explorer shows a breadcrumb trail that lists every place you visited en route to your current location, such as Control Panel, Network and Internet, Sync Center, Sync Results. If you want to jump back to Control Panel, or to any other point along the trail, just click on it.
