Vista breadcrumbs - technical definition
An enhancement to Explorer in Windows Vista, which is Vista's file manager. As users navigate down a folder hierarchy to the file they want, each level is recorded so they can jump to any level without having to move sequentially backward or forward. See breadcrumbs.
