    Folders does not open


    Good day.

    I have two profiles on my Windows 10,. One the administrator and the other a normal profile.

    The folders (documents, downloads, music, pictures, video, personal folder) on the administrator profile does not want to open at all, but I am able to open these folders from the normal profile side.

    Please can someone assist me in getting this fixed in order to access the folders from the administrator profile side.

    Thank you

    :)

    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

    clicking desktop folder does not open the folder: I have set up a desktop folder with shortcuts to files I use frequently. But when I double-click on this folder, file explorer opens to Quick Access instead of directly to the contents of the folder. How do I fix this? I'm running Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.19042. Thanks....
