OneDrive forces "Open in New Window" Behavior #24

@ghost

Description

My system is Windows 10 with OneDrive for Business.

Anytime I right-click and Open the Documents directory in File Explorer two things happen:

  1. The Documents directory is opened within the same occurrence of Windows Explorer, which is the expected behavior.
  2. In addition a second File Explorer window is launched that places me in my OneDrive location (_C:\Users\MyUserID\OneDrive - Business_). This is unexpected behavior as I don't need this second window opened and am constantly forced to close it. Why does this happen and how do I disable it?

This issue only started just after I installed OneDrive for Business. I installed OneDrive for Business and synced my OneDrive to my Documents. I did this by right clicking on my Documents folder, selecting Location and entering C:\Users\MyUserID\OneDrive - Business\Documents and hitting OK.
