"Show Presets in Explorer" will open file explorer in the Config folder and not the Plug-In Presets folder

Reproduction steps

  3. Click document icon on the rack module
  4. Select "Show Presets in Explorer"

The presets folder is in the Config folder. Explorer should have it selected already, albeit not yet opened.

I don't remember why it was done this way. Possibly revealing a folder always selects it instead of opening it. This is different with files, though.
