    can't open the prefect folder


    hi,

    I am faced with an issue. I cannot open the prefect folder. I have to restart explorer to fix it or restart my device to fix it. Repairing Windows did not help. It is that folder. Issue only happened in 2004 & 20H2. Did not happen in earlier Windows 10 versions. I need some ideas on fixes.

    :)

    Opening a Folder in VC++

    I've recently started learning VC++ and it's coming along quite nicley, I've now been given a little task by my boss to add a button to an excisting Incident report program.

    All the button needs to do is open a new explorer window and open the folder selected in the incident report program. There isn't a deadline for it, it's just to assist in my learning.

    I'm not asking for anyone to do it for me, i just need a few suggestions on how to do this so i'm looking in the correct direction?

    Thanks
