There is no setting.
However, if you are willing to compile your own, it can be removed entirely.
I have no idea what so ever who would have ever thought it was a good idea.

\explorerplusplus-master\Explorer++\Explorer++\ListViewHandler.cpp

Line:154 -> case WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK: of ListViewProcStub

Simply put double slashes in front of

OnNavigateUp();

//OnNavigateUp();

And recompile.
Then that insanity is gone.

Setting up to compile is a little involved, but if you are careful it isn't impossible.
The free versions or VS compile it just fine.
I have used VS2010/12/13 with no issues.
Though I was unable to get 64-bit on VS2010, that is a known problem with VS2010, it hates 64-bit.

It is one of a number of alternations I have made for my own use.
The only real issue is making sure which compiler you are using if you have more than one VS installed.

Good luck.

Oh god... I was looking for a solution and saw this. It may be useful for some people, but (as you can understand from my user name) I keep missing the target and clicking on the blank area and I'm like "OH WHERE AM I NOW?"

I don't think I can do that coding work, so I will try harder to not to miss! Thanks..

Hi Janus,
After so many years still there is no option to disable double click blank area to go up a level it is very frustrating, As many of user like us are not programmers and not able to compile source code so if possible Please share a copy of your build in which this issue is solved.
