Hi

AFter a clean install of WIn 8.1 pro, i notice that in file explorer, navigation pane, the 'this pc' icon is replaced by the 'desktop' icon, and 'this pc' is a sub folder of 'desktop', in effect they have swapped

this is different to the other win 8.1 machines i have and makes it difficult to navigate

is their any reason or a fix for this

thanks in advance

Hello Fisgard, and welcome to Eight Forums.

I'm not sure, but it sounds like you may have Show all folders turned on for the navigation pane. Double check using the tutorial below to make sure it's turned off to see if that is what the issue is.

If this is not the issue, then please post a screenshot showing this to see what it may be. :)
