Windows 10: Default view after closing a file

Sir, when I close a file let us say, a word document from a folder, I want to see the folder's contents. It should be my default screen view. Instead of that, my screen shows some other word document that I have already opened. It annoys me to again go to my folder. How to resolve this problem?
