If you prefer to have File Explorer open to the “This PC” page by default rather than the “Quick Access” page on your Windows 11 system, you can easily adjust the Folder Options settings. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the change:
Step 01: Open File Explorer: Start by launching File Explorer on your Windows 11 system.
Step 02: Access Folder Options: Within File Explorer, click on the “See more” (three-dotted) drop-down menu located in the upper-right corner of the window. From the dropdown menu, select the “Options” entry.
Step 03: Navigate to General Settings: In the Folder Options window that opens, click on the “General” tab.
Step 04: Choose Default Folder: Under the “Open File Explorer to” section, you’ll find a dropdown menu. Click on it and select the “This PC” option.
