Is there a file shortcut named git (or git.lnk) in your folder?
If you remove the git.exe file what happens?
Do you have other folder favorites in the Document folder? Do they work as expected?
1) No. It is not a shortcut. As I stated in my original post, the executable is git installation executable that you download from the git website, but renamed to git.exe.
2) if I remove (or simply rename) the executable, the folder opens as one would expect it to.
3) Look. I am fairly confident that the reason that this is happening is because the executable file and the folder share the exact same name. To test this, I created a shortcut for another folder in my documents folder in quick access popup, and it launched fine. Then, I created a quick AutoIt script that had the exact same name as the folder that would display a message box when launched, compiled it as an executable, and moved the executable to my documents folder. So, just to be clear, my documents folder contains both the new folder that I have configured as a shortcut (named pdfsam) and an executable named pdfsam.exe. When I launch the new folder shortcut, this is what I see:
Just so that we are clear as to the folder layout here, here is a quick illustration, since you said you were unable to replicate the problem:
I can replicate it as many times as I need: as long as there is a folder and an executable that exist in the same folder with the same name, this is what happens.
