Windows7: Changing Backshift Shortcut in Explorer back to upwards?

Question

In XP i used backshift for going one folder upwards. In Win7 they changed that to Alt+ArrowUp and backshift means now go back in folder history.

Is there some way to use good old backshift for going upwards? I don't need the back functionality..

The Awesome AutoHotkey Fix

Now that we know the shortcut key that actually works in Windows 7, we can use a small script to make it work the way we really want it to. With AutoHotkey installed, create a new script with New –> AutoHotkey Script, and then paste in the following:

#IfWinActive, ahk_class CabinetWClass Backspace::    ControlGet renamestatus,Visible,,Edit1,A    ControlGetFocus focussed, A   
if(renamestatus!=1&&(focussed=”DirectUIHWND3″||focussed=SysTreeView321))
{
    SendInput {Alt Down}{Up}{Alt Up}   }else{
      Send {Backspace}   }
#IfWinActive
