  1. Not getting file paths from using libraries on my new desktop


    This is an image of my laptop using Windows 11 Home. Whenever I add files to libraries, it includes blue text displaying where the drive path for those files are. It's a nice way to have files in one location, but to also know which drive they're coming from. I've put red circles showing what I'm talking about.However, my new Desktop PC doesn't do this. If I add a file to a library, the file just gets merged with my other files, and there's no drive path anywhere in the explorer. Anyway to resolve this?

    :)
