Are you sure it works? From my experience it works in some folders like C:\Program Files\ or C:\Windows\ but does not work for:
- folders on your desktop
- folders inside Downloads, Documents, Music and Videos

Incredible !!!!!!!

A working function in Windows destroyed by a new version. Reported Q3/2023 and no fix until Q3/2024.

This is used by a lot of users around the world and nothing happens. The world is shaking head about what is ongoing in Microsoft.

Everyone, I'm finding that the pinned, special 'My Moved Files' folders, Docs, Pics, Music, Videos, that I moved from my C: drive to a separate E: drive using 'Properties, Location' tab, are the ones affected. Other folders that I created on that drive are not affected. Perhaps that says something about the issue.

ps thanks for the Cntrl Shift E tip. At least that does work for a temporary work around...
