Today, we will tell everyone about how you can make "This computer" - the default folder in Windows 10. This action must be performed for the reason that in the normal operating system environment, the default folder is a folder called “Quick Access”, which is not always convenient for users if it is more practical for them to work with the “This Computer” environment.
This process of setting up the system is so simple and primitive that anyone who is interested in it can handle it. In addition, by the example of this method of setting the default folder, you can use other system partitions that can be customized for yourself, showing a little ingenuity.

In fact, the system itself will not have to be configured, but its separate part in the face of the file manager... Yes, it is the “file manager”, similar to what you could use from third-party developers... Only here, everything is built into the OS and developed by Microsoft.
The configuration process itself begins with the need to go to the “Explorer Options” section.
If you do not know, then you can get to the “Explorer Options” section using the “Search” application, or by opening the file manager window and executing the following transitions in it: “View” → “Parameters” → “General”.
