When I double click on a pinned folder to open it, it opens with this path C:\Users\VarunAgw\AppData\Roaming\OpenShell\Pinned\igfx_win10_100.9313.

If the folder is in D:\Software\igfx_win10_100.9313, I would prefer that the original folder is opened instead rather than the symlink.

Agreed, it's especially annoying when you need to navigate to paths above the original.

Added option to open folders to their true path

Adds a new function called GetFakeFolder which attempts to find and get
the target.lnk file from a fake folder (what Open-Shell uses to pin
folders). If detected, InvokeCommand is swapped for a ShellExecute call
to the target shortcut. Fixes Open-Shell#555, Open-Shell#653, and by extension, Open-Shell#691.

This is fixed in Open Shell 4.4.170. I archived its installer here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvOMnbjzo1eEkwyqayBPDOHuWx0v?e=VeMX1e See #852 but an official release hasn't been made since there are many other changes to be approved/rejected.
