It seems that you are experiencing an issue with Windows 11 File Explorer not showing the correct path for EML files. This issue might be related to the file association settings or the way Windows 11 handles certain file types.
Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:
-
Set the default program for EML files:
- Right-click an EML file and select "Open with."
- Choose "Thunderbird" or any other email client you want to use.
- Click "Always use this app to open EML files."
-
Register EML files with the system:
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type the following command and press Enter:
regsvr32 /i "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" - Replace the path with the actual location of Thunderbird.exe on your system.
-
Repair or reinstall Thunderbird:
- Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
- Find Thunderbird, right-click it, and select "Repair." If the repair option is not available, uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird.
-
Reset Windows 11 File Explorer:
- Type "Reset folders and search options" in the Windows search bar and open the settings.
- Click "Reset."
If the issue persists, it might be a bug specific to Windows 11 and Thunderbird. In that case, you can try using a different email client or wait for a fix from Microsoft or the Thunderbird team.
