Opening File Explorer

Post by Ted Myers »

I have now got 2 Win 11 Laptops. Here is the first discrepancy I found.
When I click the icon on the taskbar, I get different results.
Can I change the right image to look like the Asus one on the left?

The one on the left has opened to Computer, the one on the right to Home.
Does that really matter? The other option is just one click away.
Best wishes,

Hans, thanks for this reminder.
I suppose now that I have 16 GB RAM and 1,000 GB of SSD :groovin: there is no excuse left for me NOT to index my boot and data partitions?
Thanks, Chris
