It's the same folder. Only difference is that Windows automatically shortened what shows in the bread crumbs path when using a shortcut versus navigating to it.
I'm not sure what else you can do other that click on the arrows in the bread crumb path to see the rest, or click on an empty area in the address bar of explorer to see the full path.
Do it the way I described.
Open Computer
Navigate to C:\Users\youruserid
Right click (and hold, don't release) on Favorites
Drag to your Desktop and release
Select Create shortcut here
You will have a shortcut to Favorites withe the full path name.
Right click and chose Sendto does not work, it creates the truncated name.
Ztruker, thank you so much for being so patient & repeating & repeating. The detailed instructions finally penetrated my thick skull and it works.
