Windows 10: Have OneDrive app open from shortcut without opening File Explorer

So... I have 3 OneDrive accounts linked to this computer:OneDrive - PersonalOneDrive - Department of Education and TrainingOneDrive - ridgewaywebI have set OneDrive to not open on startup, same as every app on Windows. However, when I need OneDrive, I will open it from my OneDrive.exe desktop shortcut, called Launch OneDrive. When it does this, it opens OneDrive - ridgewayweb in another file explorer window. Before I open the OneDrive app, usually I have the folder I want already open. I would like to have my shortcut open OneDrive without opening the File Explorer window. Any ideas?- Jay Sylv

OneDrive folders will not open in File Explorer

OneDrive folders (e.g. Documents, Pictures, etc.) will not open using File Explorer. File Explorer hangs. Folders and files using OneDrive app and OneDrive online work correctly. OneDrive folders do open correctly using a non-Microsoft file manager
(TreeSize Personal).

 

opening .dds files with gimp

Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?

 

Explorer Opens slow

I have tried the steps listed below. Method 2 and pinned it to the task bar. This helps it open faster but when it opens then the open window are grouped away from the icon on the task bar. I have to have two explorer folders pinned to the task bar to
have a fast opening Explorer and grouped windows together.



When I do "open file location" the original one shows it is on the desktop, but it is not there. The other one I created tracks back to the C:\ drive location as it was created. Just kind of weird that one is referencing the Desktop when it is not there.
Maybe hidden but still kind of odd.

How can I make it where I only have one Explorer that is both fast to open and the only one on the task bar?

Method 1: Rebuild your search index.

• Press Windows key + R, type control.exe srchadmin.dll, and click on OK.
• Click on the Advanced button.
• From the Advanced dialogue box, select Rebuild. Selecting Rebuild will begin the process of deleting, and then rebuilding your PC’s search index.

Note: While the steps to initiate the rebuilding process are simple, the actual process can take quite some time depending on how much data Windows has to index.

Method 2: Create a File Explorer shortcut on your desktop.

• On your Windows 10 desktop, right-click with the mouse.
• Select New > Shortcut.
• Type explorer.exe in the Location box.
• Click on Next button.
• Click on Finish button. You should now have a shortcut on your desktop.
• Right-click the new shortcut, and select Properties.
• Under Target line, change it to (note the space between C:\Windows\explorer.exe and /n):
  
  C:\Windows\explorer.exe /n
• Click the OK button. Now you can double-click it like your regular File Explorer app.

Method 3: Reset the File Explorer view to the default settings across all your folders.

• Launch File Explorer, click the File menu, and select Change folder and search options.
• Click on the View tab.
• Under Folder views, click on Reset Folders.
• Click the OK button.
