There is go back and go forward. What about go up.
I am using a script which clicks up button when alt up is pressed, but this is not very elegant. |

Use Backspace.

Edit: I refer to using a browser such as internet explorer or firefox not the file management tool "explorer" (which you shouldn't use anyway)
That is BACK, not UP. Note the difference.
Example, go to:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic24630.html
Backspace would take you back to the previous page (or nothing happens
at all if you have opened it in a new window/tab!)
but UP would take you to
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/
up again:
http://www.autohotkey.com/
Here is a Firefox bookmarklet: | Code: | | javascript:var m=location.href.match(/(.+:\/\/)([^\.]+\.)((?:[^\.\:\/]+\.)*(?:[^\.\:\/]+)(?:\:\d+)?)(?:(\/(?:[^\/]+\/)*)(?:[^\/]+\/?))?/);void(location.href=m[1]+(m[4]==null||m[4]==%22%22?m[3]:m[2]+m[3]+m[4])); |
So if you want to go UP, I suggest you search the forum and search
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic19169.html (firefox)
retrieve URL via DDE and use AHK to TRIM the url to go
one "directory" up and send it back to the address bar.
[/code]

backspace goes back not up
you guys are amazing
no in the event that you did actually progress deeper it might seem to haqve the same effect but if you opened c?:/program files
and then hit backspace nothing would happen

u dont use IE for file management u use explorer i know its easy to get confused because windows transitions between them seemlessly but trust me as soon as you go to a file system you have switched to explorer. and im dying to know why the statment you shouldnt use explorer
as far as firefox goes yes you can indeed browse file system with it but i must know why you would
at any rate the answer is
alt+up to go up directory

Alt+Backspace in Windows Explorer - sometimes it works, somewtimes it doesn't at all. I don't know what it depends on - but me I can definitely tell windows exp from internet exp.
For the time being I am using an AHK workaround, also not fully reliable. But when cresating it I noticed that Windows Explorer may manifest itself to AHK's Active window info as:
ahk_class ExploreWClass, ahk_class CabinetWClass or still something else. |
