Google Colab runs on a folder out of "My Drive" folder - google-colaboratory

I am doing an online course and i use Colab for the assignments.
The initialization code is given to me, so all i need to do is to run it and start to code.
The problem is that for some reason Colab decided to separate one folder- "cs231n". I can still see this folder in the tree on the left under "My Drive", but when calling functions that i write there in the bottom one (i write in .py files), from the .ipynb notebook, nothing happens. like the .py file doesn't exist.
But when writing the code in the separated folder, which is not under "My Drive" (the upper one), .ipynb works fine.
So i do my assignments with the upper cs231n separated folder, but it is a twisted way to go...
The actual path in my drive:
path
The Colab initialization and the folders-tree:
colab
Thanks :)

Excel on Mac. Cannot open IQY file in Data/Get External Data/Run Web Query

I am running Excel version 16.45 on Mac.
I have created a .iqy and saved it in the Queries directory alongside certain templates which were already there.
I go to Data/Get External Data/Run Web Queries. While the templates are accessible, my file is visible but greyed out (same thing happens if I save the file in a different directory).
Would anyone be able to help?
According to your information, I would like to confirm whether the issue occurs when you follow the steps as below:
1.Create a Word file, paste the web URL.
2.Save the Word as .iqy with .txt format.
3.Choose MS-DOS as coding.
4.Create an Excel file and click "Data >Get External Data >Run Web Query (Or Run Saved Query) " of the Bar
I was able to address the issue as follows.
When navigating to the relevant directory with Finder, the '.iqy' file appears to be appropriately named (as per Image 1).
In fact, if you reach the file in Terminal, the file is saved as '.iqy.txt'.
So all I had to do is rename the file, simply removing the '.txt' string at the end.
Screen you see when navigating in Finder

How can I preserve cell outputs on uploaded notebooks?

I uploaded a previously created Jupyter notebook. I could initially see all the cell outputs in Colab right after uploading it, but if I close the notebook and come back to it later -- or if I share the notebook with a coworker -- then all the cell outputs have been cleared, which is quite annoying.
This is happening even though I've verified that the following two checkboxes are UNCHECKED:
Edit > Notebook settings > Omit code cell output when saving this notebook
Tools > Preferences > New notebooks use private outputs (omit outputs when saving)
From what I can tell, it looks like the cell outputs get preserved across sessions for notebooks created and edited in Colab, but not for notebooks that were created elsewhere and then uploaded. What am I missing? How can I preserve cell outputs across sessions in uploaded notebooks?
Are you trying to open the file from Drive directly in Jupyter?
If so, you'll need to save the full file using the File -> Download ipynb menu item.
By default, Colab saves outputs using a different format to support incremental saves, so the Drive file created during auto-save will show outputs, but only in Colab itself, and you'll need to download the full ipynb to export to other notebook viewing tools.

How do I randomly pick an icon for a pen drive?

I've seen a tutorial online that explained how to change the icon of a pen drive once inserted using an autorun.inf file and a .ico file, and it worked perfectly, but I wanted to know if there's a way to choose a random file from a list of .ico files inside the pen drive.
Here's the code I'm using for the normal icon
[Autorun]
Icon=IconName.ico
Label=PENDRIVE
If this can't be directly done using the autorun.inf file, please let me know an alternative method, even if it requires other files (such as .vbs files)
Here's the website I used just in case

How do I use the folder path that a user selects and use that path when they download files?

I'm in the process of creating a launcher for a game with Visual Basic and I have pretty much everything done except many people may have files in different drives. So, I want them to select a file path then when they have selected that path I want the download button to download the files that the need downloaded to the selected directory. I was thinking that the beginning of the code would be something like this:
Form2.TextBox1.Text
and then something else after that in the buttons code.
I hope I'm being specific enough.
P.S. The reason why this is an issue is because if I use System.Diagnostic.Process.Start("C:\Program Files (x86)\[remaining folderpath here]") to launch the .exe then the program will only look for the files in that directory even though some people may have the files in their D: drives, etc. And, I have a FolderDialog setup and working.
