How to disable "bread crumbs" in Windows Vista
One of the more popular "improvements" in Windows Vista is the inclusion of "bread crumbs" in Windows Explorer. Instead of the old fashioned "c:\program files\mozilla\firefox" addresses, Windows Vista provides you with a series of triangles. Click on one to get a list of folders you can visit.Up until now, there's been no way to revert to the old address bar. Sure, if you click on the address box, it shows up. But as soon as you click away, it's gone. If you can't stand bread crumbs, you were out of luck. But not anymore.
Andreas Verhoeven has developed a little utility that lets you disable bread crumbs. All you have to do is download and unzip the file, double click on AveNoBreadCrumb.exe and open a new explorer window. Your bread crumbs should be gone. Double clicking again will restore them.
