    My Directory is messed up and says "Desktop" instead of "This PC"


    Hello, I need help to fix a situation I've been dealing with for a while. This hasn't caused too many problems, but can be irritating when trying to navigate through my file directory. If anyone can help me fix this it will be appreciated. It seems that the directory got switched around mysteriously so that the main directory is off of "Desktop" instead of being sourced as "This PC." I am completely unsure what caused this, it could possibly be an issue where I need to access the Bios, but I need some help in understanding my issue.

    :)

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
