    Windows Explorer display


    Hello,
    I'm used to having Windows Explorer show a Desktop icon immediately above the Libraries icon (as in the attached screenshot) as well as under Favorites, but my new computer only shows Desktop under Favorites. How can I add a Desktop icon by the Libraries icon?
