Is there any way to override this?The Learn more link took me to Microsoft Learn: Build skills that open doors in your career, super unhelpfulSo, to the main point, HELP.Edit: Firefox and Command Prompt can open other file folders, as my entire %systemdrive% is blocked. This leads to my thought that only explorer has this issue. I can access my Desktop, Downloads, and other user files even though its located in %systemdrive%\Users\Aarav. Confusing.
