Windows 10: Opening folders goes to desktop

Good day!

When I try to open a file, attach a file or click on a shortcut, file explorer brings me to the desktop in my Quick Access list. I then have to navigate to the file I want.

For example, I just clicked 'save' on a Word document. I clicked 'browse' and it went to my documents folder for a moment, but then jumped up to the desktop and I had to again click on Documents.

It was doing this for a couple weeks, then started behaving correctly for a couple weeks, but it's been doing this again for the past few days.

Thanks for your help.

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
