  2. How to get file explorer to open the last open folder (ie: documents) when opening?

    How to get file explorer to open the last open folder (ie: documents) when opening? It always opens to the list of all folders; is there any way to have it open to the previously open folder?

    Thank you! --dan

    Explorer opens to the Documents folder

    Hello, in File Explorer click on "View" and then "Options" to open "Folder options" (dialog below):
    Opening folder inside documents will open dropdown on left side of file explorer 356118d1641044925t-explorer-opens-documents-folder-untitled.png
    Here from drop down menu under "Open File Explorer to:" you can choose default.

    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
