I believe this comes from a setting in File Explorer:

Display Tab, Options
In the dialog, inside yet another Display tab, there is a list where you 
see a "navigation pane" category
Inside that category there is something along the lines of "Develop to 
opened folder" (translated from my OS language)

It's not checked by default, and I believe Windows 11 resets anything 
set in here that you would have changed in Windows 10.

As to doing this by code, I'm not sure this is possible.

Hope this helps
