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


    Problem solved. If you click on the yellow folder icon in the address bar of a folder in your computer, and then do Ctrl + C Then in a text editor do Ctrl + V, (rather than using the Snipping Tool) the full path from the root of the drive is pasted, eg:

    D:\DOCUMENTS\Airfix Modelling\Builds of Kits, and Kits \Cars and Trucks\1-16 - Rolls-Royce Phantom (1934)\Build Report

    In fact, you don't even need to click on the yellow folder icon. Just click on a blank part of the address bar and the full path will automatically become selected. Ctrl + V then pastes the full path where you want it.
