I save a shortcut for some directory, say c:\father\son to put it into quick launch bar

then I click the shortcut to open this subdirectory cotents in Windows Explorer

Now if I press Alt+Up or back tool button, it doesn't go to c:\father. Instead, it goes back to the 'quick launch' directory.

This is different from previous Windows version and it's very annoying since I always go to other brother subdirectories of c:\father\son. Now I have to start from drive root and down to the intended subdirectory each time.

I WANNA THE OLD STYLE BACK!
