    My windows explorer window looks wrong


    I just noticed that my "windows explorer" window looks odd or maybe I just never noticed. Why Libraries, Homegroup, Terri, Computer, Network, Control Panel, Recycle Bin, listed UNDER "desktop". When I google images of windows explorer, none of them show these listed under "desktop" I realize that the recycle bin is on the desktop so that's why it's listed but it seems like something is wrong.

    Hello sputterbug, :)

    It looks like you have Show all folders turned on for the navigation pane. Turning it off should get you back to default.
