I successfully added a custom folder under this pc creating a new user shell folder generating a new clsid.
I’m hardly trying to achieve what happens with the default user shell folders like music, pictures and the others.
That is, if I type win key + r and write down the path C:\Users\username\Pictures explorer opens with the pictures folder selected on the left navigation pane.
The same happens when you open a file or folder dialog and write down the path C:\Users\username\Pictures, that is Explorer somehow recognizes the written path and selects the pictures folder on the left navigation pane.
This does not happen with the custom folder added under this pc, instead the c drive is selected on the navigation pane.
I tried all the possible registry tweaks but with no success.
To be more precise I know that I can open an explorer window with the custom added folder selected on the navigation pane using a shortcut, that is not what I'm trying to achieve.
Is it possible to make so that explorer recognizes the custom folder added under this pc and acts like it does with the default folders under this pc as I explained above?
Thanks but this is not useful, as i wrote in my post i know how to start explorer to achieve what i want, i want explorer to auto select the folder as it does with default folder. And by the way, the option /root does not work on windows 10 from 1809. – Evolve_or_Die – 2020-02-02T01:23:58.187
