I was reading about the Address Bar and trying to figure out the difference between the various headers. I accidentally clicked on one of the "fields" in the blue bar on the top of one of the windows -- the one with the parts of the path separated by right-pointing triangles (>). At least that's what I think I did. I got a screen that said something like "Location currently not available" and there was a yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point. The location shows was:
C:\Program Files\XYplorer\My Documents\My Products\
That directory does not exist. It looks like it was a combination of two different directories -- the first two pieces + the last two pieces.
I have no idea how that happened. Any suggestions?
I could not figure out how to get back where I was. Is there a keyboard shortcut that will take a window back to the previous location?
PS: How come that error message is blocked from copying to the clipboard? It makes if difficult to report error messages, especially with my poor typing skills.
PPS: Is there a graphic somewhere showing the screen with labels for the various parts (Toolbar, Tab bar, etc.)? That would make it easier to follow the help text and to report problems or questions.
Is there a "go back" or "undo" for navigation?

► navigate hierarchically
• BACKSPACE: go up
• SHIFT+BACKSPACE: go down
if you are in C:\Deadpeople\Gramps\Parent\Child, then these keys will send you to parent, child, gramps and vice-versa
► navigate historically
• ALT+LEFT: Go Back in history
• ALT+RIGHT: Go Forward in history
if you were at D:\planets\Mars right before moving to D:\cities\Mooretown\MyFort, then these keys will travel between Mars, MyCastle, and wherever you'd been before Mars
