    File Explorer search results, open folder location without Context Menu


    Hi, in File Explorer, when you do a search and then get folders as result. I always want to open it with the folder location ie. with its actually folder location. So each time I have to 1st open the context menu to click on 'Open folder location' :This is really time consuming and annoying. How can I open a folder result directly at this real location without using the Context Menu ?My objective is to not open the folder 'com.xiamihm.heath' here like with "Search Results in" in front of it :

    :)

    Open Location context menu - Add or Remove in Windows 10


    Hello chok, and welcome to Ten Forums. File Explorer search results, open folder location without Context Menu :)

    When you right click or press and hold on a :shortcut of a file", "shortcut of a folder", "file or folder in search results", or a "file or folder in a library" in File Explorer, you should see a Open file location or Open folder location context menu item to open the source location of the file or folder with the file or folder selected.

  3. File Explorer Search: Results not opening


    When I use File Explorer Search in my user folders, the results appear to have lost their association and do not open when I click them.

    Before search:

    After search for "Get"

    Note the icons have gone, the folder is not listed. Clicking the file does zilch.

    It wouldn't be there if that is the file's current location.

    If you had searched for a file instead of a folder, and right clicked on one of the search results, you should then see "Open file location" in the context menu.
