Win Explorer shortcuts

Hello everyone,

I want to open a folder shortcut in its original location (not in new window, refer to attachment).
If anyone knows how to do so please advise

Thanks a lot

Hello Mohamad, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You should be able to just click on the folder to open it in the same window as in your screenshot.

To open the shortcut in it's original folder location, click on Properties from your screenshot, then see if it has an Open File Location button in the Shortcut tab.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks Brink for the feedback. Unfortunately, Open File Location is not shown in Shortcut tab. Pls see attachment

You might see if one of the .pdf files may.

neither the right click nor the properties of the pdfs have this option

If you go to the "Target" path displayed for the folder shortcut's properties, is the folder there?

Thanks Hermitt43, it will just open the shotcut folder - not the original folder - in a new window
