Two "Desktops" In File Explorer: Differences ?

[Robert11]

Hello,

When going to File explorer:

Might someone please explain to me the differences between:

Windows (C and the Folder Desktop that appears there,

and the Desktop (icon ?) that appears right below "This pc"

They seem to show different items.
Never noticed this before, and realize I don't understand the differences.

Thanks,
Bob

Any chance you could post a screenshot please bob - as I'm a little puzzled as to why they would show different things if it's the same location.

I get two "desktop" links - one is under "quick access" and the other is under "this PC". They are both the shortcuts to the same location and show the same files.

It is interesting, I get 3 Desktops in the left/navigation column in File Explorer plus can get another on the right-click of the Taskbar then click Toolbars then Desktop to have it show on the Taskbar. And these don't count the one in C:\Users\USERNAME. I haven't checked if they all contain the same things.

There should be three.

1. Under Quick Access
2. Under This PC
3. Under Frequent Folders

They all go to same location.
