Windows 10: How do I get windows to display the whole path in folder?

How do I get windows to display the whole path in folder?

e.g C:\Users\username\Downloads rather than just downloads?

File explorer not displaying complete path for certain folders on Windows 10.

Hi,



The path mentioned in the above description “c:\users\john\downloads” is similar to “Downloads” located under
Quick access in File explorer.



Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• When you say “You could paste that path into whatever application”, which application are you referring to?
• Is the content displayed in “c:\users\john\downloads” file path similar to “Downloads” located under
  Quick access in File explorer?

It is by design that files and folders saved in any of the system folders in
Users will reflect under same folder in File explorer’s Quick access. Check if the content displayed in “c:\users\john\downloads” file path is similar to “Downloads” located
under Quick access in File explorer.



Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of file or folder path displaying completely to copy or paste on an application in the same post for further assistance. Your
reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.

 

How to make shortcuts open to full folder path and not libraries path?


Unfortunately you can't.

It was mentioned in another thread recently (see Display full path for special folders - Windows 10 Forums)

It is just how current version (both 1703 Creators Update and latest insider build) work.

I find it annoying also - especially if you have moved folders from their default locations. Perhaps we should suggest a change to Microsoft via the feedback app but I've not done that yet as I uninstalled it by mistake ...
