Is there a keyboard shortcut for 'Open file location' within Windows Search?

Here's what I want to do:

1. Hit Windows.
2. Type in a search for a file.
3. Select the file (arrow keys).
4. Open the file's containing folder without right-clicking (like in Spotlight with Command + Enter).

Solution 1:

You could use the menu button on your keyboard, assuming you have one. Replacing your step 4 with the following has what I think is the desired effect:

4. Menu
5. Arrow keys to "Open File Location" option. Update: Or just press i - see comments.
6. Enter

Now, it's hardly a shortcut, but since you're arrowing to the file maybe this isn't too much of an additional chore compared to having to mouse as well?

Solution 2:

Select a file, press Alt+Enter to open the properties, then press Alt+F for "Open File Location".

Solution 3:

Not really a native Windows shortcut, but I do this all the time with Launchy. It allows you to open any location anytime by just typing:

1. Alt+Space
2. Type Address
3. Enter

Solution 4:

In Windows 7 - 10, this combination will open the folder in Windows Explorer. Note that the file must be highlighted before, of course:

≣ Win Menu (opens context menu) → i ("Open file location")

When within the search results, you probably want to open each file's folder in a separate window. Then use shift:

≣ Win Menu → Shift + i
