How to open the actual folder a library subfolder refers to?

0

When I open a library subfolder in explorer, it is displayed as subfolder of that library. However, I want to open the actual subfolder without explorer remembering I got there via a library (e.g. the customization feature is otherwise not available). How can that be achieved?

The only workaround I found so far is copy-pasting the path from the address bar (which is expanded correctly on clicking) and pasting it into a different explorer window or the start menu's text field. But that is tedious if repeated often, and spams my ClipX clipboard history.

put the following line in a .bat file and run it from the folder you want to open:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %~dp0

this opens explorer in batch file location.

hm, not exactly effortless I am afraid to say. But that brings me to the idea of simply adding a new "Open" option to the folder type... – Tobias Kienzler – 2014-09-24T11:39:59.547
