Just tried it on my Windows 7 and it's quite definitely going up one level, not back in history.

If I've got a folder structure

1 | |--1.1 | |--1.2

And I click into 1.1 and then into 1.2, if I then press backspace I end up on 1 (the parent), not 1.1 (the previous in the history).

Try going into C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\Folder5

Then click on "Folder3" to go directly to Folder3.

Then press BackSpace, you will go back to Folder5, not Folder2.

To go up the shortcut is ALT Arrow Up.

Now when there is nothing to go back to (you opened a sub folder directly), Backspace goes up instead of doing nothing.

Nope. Just done that, in a tree view. Took me to folder 2

They must haved changed the behavior. I tried that on Windows 7 with a network drive.

prof_habart is pressing backspace while clicking entries in the tree view, which indeed treats backspace as going one level up, not one back in history. But that's not really relevant to this thread.
