Problem

Microsoft seems to make it harder and harder to go "up a level" in explorer with every release, and apparently have done away with it completely in Windows 7. Is there any way to bring back the "up one level" button in Windows 7? Prior to Windows 7, the backspace key did this.

Fix for: How do I go up one level in Windows 7 explorer?

Low Risk

What about Alt+↑? Analogous to Alt+← and Alt+→ for backwards and forwards, respectively. If you need to use the mouse, then rerun's answer probably is for you.
