Whenever I open a folder, it opens in new window (Windows 10)

Hi Pratyaksh,

To assist you further, let me ask.

• 
  What changes have you make in the folder options?
  
• 
  Is the error specific to a folder?
  

I would suggest you to follow the steps and check if it help.

• 
  Open file explorer, click on view and select options.
  
• 
  Double-click on options, in the general tab click on Open each folder in the same Window.
  
• 
  Click apply and ok.
  

I hope the information is helpful and if you need any other assistance on Windows, we’ll be glad to assists you.

Thank you.

 

Double-clicking a folder opens it multiple times, occasionally

As the title states, my problem is that occasionally (yet really often) when I double-click a folder or it's subfolder in order to open it in the file explorer, Windows somehow detects some additional clicks as well. I usually end up
opening a folder in two separate file explorer windows. (It
leaves the original folder I was in to the back and opens up the folder I double-clicked in to one or two new windows...)

I am pretty sure I've checked all the possible options for this one, but just to make sure, I don't mind if someone just suggests to look at those settings. Let's break this to things I've already made sure the issue is not in them:

• I have checked the mouse options for possible "single-click to open" -feature to be on, NOPE!
• I have reviewed my folder settings if there would be something there, which I doubt is not the case, since this happens
  everywhere.
• I switched from my mouse to my laptop's touch pad to see if the problem is in hardware, still happens.
• I have updated my hardware drivers and checked their own setup software in order to find a solution for this madness, NOPE!

This is pretty irritating, since I work along with multiple website projects and opening folders and their subfolders are being a huge pain right now.

Any help granted will be appreciated!

 

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
