Prolly a win 11 issue. There might be a way to fix this in some weird explorer settings but as a workaround you could temporarily create a symbolic link.
So open up the command prompt and you can use:

mklink /D Link Target
so e.g. for you it'd be sth like this:
mklink /D C:\User\...\Desktop\FOLDERNAME C:\SomePath\tf
Where C:\SomePath\tf ofc references the path to your tf2 install

This basically creates a "fake folder" which when navigating you can use like a normal folder and when opening it it should have the contents of your tf2 install. (One can safely delete it afterwards as it's just a link to the real folder)
You can read up more about the command if you're curious somewhere online.
Hope this helps :)
