* what o/s are you using?
* what netrw-oriented options are you using? In looking at your image,
I see you're using a tree listing with banner off, and so now I see a
blank line at the top. I'll look into it.
* netrw's banner will tell you what version you're using. You can also
type :echo g:loaded_netrw .
* if its interaction with some other plugin -- move them out of your
.vim/plugin directory and see if the problem recurs. If not, put them
back in and figure out which one is causing the issue. If you're using
one of the add-ons for plugin management (vundle, etc), well, I don't
use them as they're non-standard, and so you'll have to figure out how
to selectively disable/re-enable them on your own.

How did you open netrw? :e somedirectory ? Hit <c-o> often enough
and you'll get back. That's the same as for any :e file ... :e
something else (now get back) sequence in vim. You might find
:help :jumps helpful, too.

I'm not going to be able to help much more today -- I'm having hard disk
issues.
