Explorer "UP"

Hello,

I was wondering if there was anything you could do to tell the windows explorer to go up one level (not back).


Thx for any suggestions

Found it myself...
Simple as hell: it's Backspace!


Sorry...

Actually backspace is your previous directory. Up is different. Your previous directory is most often up though.

You have another solution for that.

The parent directory can be reached through the 3rd menu of the explorer. I'll try an approximate translation of my menus as I'm not running an English version of Windows/
"Display" -> "Reach" -> "Parent Directory"

Can't give you the shorcuts you should type because they'll be different, but you can easily lead a gesture to this button :)

Hope this helps

Yes, the english version it is:

View, Go To, Up One Level
or:

[ALT]vou as it would appear in Strokeit

[that being up and not back,
Backspace also works in Internet
Explorer for Back - but Holding Alt
and using the left right arrows does
a better job I think] .....at least until
Strokeit came along with the drag left
right action - which is hot as hell.

Dan-
Actually, backspace _is_ the keyboard for "up one level" in Explorer. Try it. Open "My Computer". The Back button is disabled, but the Up One Level button is available. Hit Backspace and you go to the desktop. Then Up One Level is not available, because you are already at the top. Back (alt-L) takes you to My Computer. Backspace does nothing. Just figured this out for myself today on w2kp and wxphsp2. You may be running something different, though.

Hi Guys !

How is the "Up" command working ?
I tried 4 commands :
1. Hotkey = Alt
2. Hotkey = v ( to get into menu view)
3. Hotkey = o ( to get into menu item "go to"
4. Hotkey = u ( to get into menu item "Up one lvl"

but is still not working ?
Thx for Help in advance !

Please read previous reply in this thread. The answer is "backspace".

Hello,
In Explorer application -> Send keystrokes as [UP][BACK]
I've been using it for a long time.

up == backspace
back == Alt+ left arrow
forward == Alt+ right arrow

To Go One Level Up

Press The following...

1) ALT+V (Goto View Menu)
2) O (Activate Goto Menu Item)
3) U (Activate Up One Level Menu Item

The Following Simulates
[ALT_DOWN]v[ALT_UP]OU

You Can Select The Gesture As Up
And In the New Command Select --> Keys - Send Keystrokes
And in the TextArea in the lower part of the screen Past [ALT_DOWN]v[ALT_UP]OU

Thanks.

PS. This Method is not As Elegent. Another Way may exist where we can directly send messages to explorer using Windows Messages. Any Windows Programmer can help us with That...

Up is not backspace, it's WIN + Backspace. That windows logo key.

Access one folder and then another folder from the same parent directory. You will be able to tell the difference.

Nobody really posted what you need exactly, so here it is. Works perfectly on Windows 7 at least.

[ALT_DOWN][UP][ALT_UP]

thanks. alot of todo for nothing in this thread. your method was copy and paste simple as dirt.
