    File Explorer: Restore functionality for opening shortcuts in the same window


    When in File Explorer, there are certain strings that can be typed into the address bar that will allow you to navigate to said item. For example, typing in "downloads" and pressing enter causes File Explorer to navigate to the Downloads folder. Typing in "documents" and pressing will cause File Explorer to navigate to the Documents folder.If you create a shortcut to a folder for example, Folder A on the Desktop Folder A - Shortcut.lnk, you can then type the name of the shortcut into the address bar in File Explorer Folder A - Shortcut.lnk, hit enter, and it will navigate to the location

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Shortcut to print without opening Visio File (VSDX extension)?

    Since, without opening file, I can print VSDX file by following steps:

    1. open file with Internet Explorer
    2. get Internet Explorer to print.
    Is there a shortcut ? My wish to have:

    1. right click file with VSDX extension and print just like Office documents?
    2. VBS using COM
    3. Powershell script
    Thanks Ahead!
