Windows 10: Change FTP to not open in new window using windows explorer

Whenever I ftp to a site it opens up in a new window. Is there any way to keep it in the same explorer window. Windows 7 did this and I can't seem to find an option on my computer to keep it in the same window.
Example

is that so you can easy copy from one drive to another ?

Jaamulberry,

That’s odd. That doesn’t happen for me.

We can check a few registry keys. Could you post the content of the files created by the following commands? The data there might reveal something.

Code:

reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\ftp" "C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\ftp_l.reg"
reg export "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FTP" "C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\ftp_c.reg"

Thank you.

Those registry values are fine.

What’s the behaviour on another user account like?
