OneDrive shared folders shortcuts showing up as Internet Shortcuts

Issue

Some OneDrive shared folders shortcuts located in your My Files folder may show up as .url internet shortcuts instead of actual folders.

If you try to open the folder shortcut, it opens as a webpage (and you may be asked to sign in) instead of a folder.

Status

If you have full access to the account that shared folders with you, you can add OneDrive as a service to easily open Office files on your computer.
