Error 'shell:::{52205fd8-5dfb-447d-801a-d0b52f2e83e1}, this file has no program associated...'

I came across this exception on Windows 10. After customizing my primary account's File Explorer look and layout including removing the Quick Access folder from the navigation panel.

Then when logging in from a different account and trying to open File Explorer, this error popped up.

The quick solution was to change the default view of File Explorer from Quick Access to This PC. Go to Control Panel, File Explorer Options and change the "Open File Explorer to" option to "This PC". Then you'll be able to open File Explorer.

I fixed this in my case by editing this entry after half day of research.
