Windows 10: Opening folder path from Run always takes me to Desktop Folder

This recently started happening, when I open any folder through run command, or when I save a document in any app such as VS Code, Photoshop, Illustrator, notepad etc. It would always show me the last saved location and let me continue from there. Now it takes me a step forward to Desktop automatically. Pressing Back takes me to the intended folder.Steps to replicate issue:1. Press Win+R to open Run2. Type the correct folder path and enterhttps://snipboard.io/J2DSiM.jpghttps://snipboard.io/kmVw7q.jpghttps://snipboard.io/rZFsWk.jpg

Opening a Folder in VC++

Jack28,
I would look into using a FolderBrowserDialog object in your application. This will open a dialog that lets you select a folder. Then use
Code: FolderBrowserDialog1.selecteditem[/quote] to return the output string of the folder into a textbox, set the textbox enabled property to false so that they cannot type in the path, they have to get the path by selecting the folder using the folder browser.
This will endure your program never throws a directory not found exception and crashing itself.
This is what I have always doen and it works quite nicely.

Opening a Folder in VC++

Thanks for all of the help guys, I've managed to get it working now. I used OpenFileDialog in the end and I've used a StreamReader to open the file. As of right now I'm not reading from a textbox to find the file, the file's I actually need are all in the same directory/folder so I've just put a path to the folder and added a .txt filter(all files are saved a .txt).

I'll keep this thread updated, becuase I'm going to attempt to read from the textbox when I have some more free time.
