Ah, edited .. you're not getting "How to open" you're getting the "Open File" warning found this:
You'll probably want just this one for now
ICACLS "%userprofile%\Favorites\Links" /Setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)Medium
С 14.09.16, когда были установлены новые обновления Windows, каждый раз, когда я хочу открыть что-либо в моем файле «Избранное», появляется сообщение «Хотите открыть этот файл» - даже для Gmail! Я думаю, что это может быть связано с усилением безопасности, но это ужасно раздражает! Можете ли вы помочь? Я использую Windows 8.1. Спасибо.

"Favorites" by default is a magic folder in the "internet explorer security zone," and if you move a file out of that to (for example) the desktop, you will probably not get the prompt.
There are ways to configure this zone with lower security to avoid these prompts, but IMO, it is better to not mix untrusted and trusted links/documents in this folder.
I believe that TG2's suggestion re: ICACLS is one way to configure the security for that zone (and the path in the command is the actual file-system path to the magic folder).
Microsoft has a decent article about configuring which is much too broad to quote here. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/815141
If you are using "favorites" as a "shortcut bin" on the taskbar, then you can make a non-magic one by making a folder on your HDD, and then adding that folder as a toolbar (right-click taskbar > toolbar > new toolbar). You can then add/remove toolbar shortcuts via the toolbar or by browsing to the folder in windows explorer.
