Steps to reproduce

Install PowerShell Core 6.1 on Windows choosing to add context menu "Open PowerShell from here". Once installed, just clicking any Windows shortcut for a folder opens a PowerShell 6.1 window not the Windows Explorer window at the folder.
This only seems to happen with Directory\Folder shortcuts in Quick Launch (%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch) that are then exposed on Quick Launch toolbar on W10 taskbar as they respond to single click to open. The single click open PowerShell. Uninstall returns behavior to normal.

Expected behavior

Clicking a folder shortcut opens the folder in Windows Explorer.


Actual behavior
---------------

Clicking any Windows shortcut when on Quick Launch toolbar on W10 taskbar for a folder opens a PowerShell 6.1 window not the folder in a Windows Explorer window at the folder.

@PGomersall Please fill in the complete issue template. You have not given sufficient details about your environment. Please provide the output of $PSVersiontable and the OS version. Does the issue go away when you uninstall PowerShell Core (which it should if it was caused by PowerShell Core)
I got a new Windows 10 laptop today and cannot reproduce the issue here, I suspect your reported happens maybe only on an old or special OS version.
When I implemented the feature, I did not manually test this on old Desktop Windows versions like e.g. Windows 7 or 8.1 (but I think I tested it on WinServer 2008R2)
@iSazonov The feature purely works by setting registry keys.
