This is a follow-up to #555
Thanks for implementing this feature request for "Expand folder shortcuts"

When I submitted issue 555 I wrote that the behaviour for subfolders of expanded folder shortcuts was OK:

A drive, e.g. D:\ with folder like "Code",...:
grafik

Clicking on "Code" opens an Explorer window. The path is quite odd, though:
grafik

When I click into the path, it looks better, so this case is OK for me:
grafik

Well, I found that this has a side effect. The explorer window can be extremely slow when the drive is a network file share. It seems that the explorer window has some kind of context that slows things down.

So, I experimented a bit and with ShellExecute instead of opening the folder's submenu item. This fixes the issue for me.

I did not a separate option but used OpenTruePath. I could add a separate option OpenFolderPath or OpenSubfolderPath.
