Shortcut to Documents

If I create a shortcut to my documents folder, or pin it to Quick Access or Start Menu, then the shortcut will take me to my Documents library, which is not what I want. (The annoyance comes from the fact that once there if I then decide to go somewhere that isn't in the library, I can't simply go up to the containing folder; I also cannot click the address bar to get the current folder path.)
Is there a way to keep shortcuts to the documents folder (or pinned items) from taking me to libraries? Also is there a way to delete the default libraries completely? (I don't have any use for them.)

If disabling the libraries feature is the only way to do this then so be it, but I'd rather not as I might be able to actually use libraries. If that is the only way to do it, how would I disable the feature? I found this article which tells how do disable the feature in Windows 7, but I wasn't able to find anything for Windows 10. (Would the same .reg files work in Windows 10?)

All of those create a shortcut which, when opened, take me to my documents library. Even though the shortcut's target is a link to the folder, when file explorer opens up I'm at the library.

Oh, so it isn't the library. My bad, I probably should have been able to see that myself.

That doesn't solve my problem, though.

I want the folder path "C:/Users/[name]/Documents" to show up, instead of This PC->Documents.

I have also found that if I rename my documents folder to "docs", opening C:/Users/[name]/Documents still goes to the documents folder (C:/Users/[name]/docs), despite that the name is now different. And if I try to create a new folder named Documents, it says that a folder named docs already exists and asks if I want to merge. (I was trying to get around the problem by re-naming the folders and creating new ones.)

No duh. Please read this:
