  1. Right Click Open Folder Location


    Many years ago I found a VBScript that added "Open Folder Location". This was NOT the Windows Built in "Open Folder Location".* The Windows Default "Open Folder Location" = Takes you out of Search. If the file is not the correct file. You have to start Search All Over Again.* The 3rd party VBScript "Open Folder Location" = This added a New 2nd Open Folder Location which opens a New Window. If the file is not the same, you just close the new window because the original Search window is open.Does anyone know the location of this new version? Back in my apartment in Hungary I have it on my

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions

  3. "Open file location" or “Save image as” opens to Desktop folder instead of target folder.

    Basically, trying to ‘save to a target folder’ or ‘open from a target folder’ goes to the Desktop folder instead of the target folder.



    Examples:

    • Enter a file name in desktop search bar. List of possible files, desired file is in a target folder within another folder. Right click on desired file, then ‘Open file location’. Result is Desktop folder instead of target folder.
    • Right click on a folder from the Taskbar File Explorer jump list, it (as normal) gives me a list of Frequent folders I have used. Then, when I right click on one of the frequent folder names, I get the list. The first entry is ‘Open’; the second entry is ‘Open file location’. Left clicking on either of those entries opens the Desktop folder instead of the target folder.
    • When I am downloading an image from a browser (Save image as), I have selected the target location folder, but it defaults to the Desktop folder. This happens in both Chrome and Edge, each of which has a target folder (not Desktop) download location selected in their Settings section.

    It seems like the target folder is momentarily opened (perhaps ½ second), then immediately closes and then the Desktop folder shows.



    Additional test: When in File Explorer, say, Recent section, right clicking on the item, then Open file location does correctly take me to the Target folder (not to the Desktop folder). And after searching for an item within File Explorer, right clicking on the item, then Open file location works properly (takes me to the Target file location).



    So, within File Explorer, Open file location works ok, but outside of File Explorer, Open file location defaults to the Desktop folder instead of target location.



    Would appreciate any hints as to why this is happening on Windows 11; did not happen with Windows 10.

    Right Click Open Folder Location

    Can't open folder location via windows search and "open file location"

    I also can do a Search for a particular file in a folder such as Documents with *.doc then I get this list on the right-click of a file found, the choice is at the bottom of the list:
