key shortcut for 'up one level'

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

In mac-land, there is a nifty little shortcut (ctrl+up arrow) that you can
use in the finder to go up to the containing folder of whatever directory
you are in.
Does windows explorer have any similar function?
(If not, how could you hack this into xp?)

When opening and saving files, I would really like to be able to navigate
with the keyboard instead of always reaching for the mouse.

Thanks in advance

Left arrow works, as Trevor says, in the directory tree (left-hand
pane of the two-pane setup).

In the files pane (right pane, or the only pane of the one-pane
setup), it's Backspace not Left arrow.
