Autohotkey shortcut remapping ^UP:: !UP

I am trying to turn the Shortcut Ctrl+Arrow Up into Alt+Arrow up by Autohotkey, simple.

Reason is, when navigating in the Explorer (Win 10) I like to move one Folder level back towards root as if i would press Alt+Arrow Up but by pressing Ctrl+Arrow Up.

I have tried all possible combinations until I could make it work, however a new Explorer window opens, so the result is not exactly the same as when I press Alt+Arrow Up.

This was my first idea, which does not do anything at all.

^UP:: !Up

After tweaking around i found out this works but it opens a new Explorer window instead of remaining in the same window and only moving one level back.

^Up::SendInput,!{Up}

Spend more than an hour over this using google, forums and trying out every possible combination, how hard can this be?

Very close, Baka:

^Up::Send !{Up}

Now AutoHotKey will print Alt+ArrowUp instead of CTRL+ArrowUp.

Consider using

^Up::
IfWinActive, Windows Explorer;
Send !{Up}
return

to apply for windows named 'Windows Explorer' only.
