Explorer pane shows desktop as root, instead of "this PC"

Beneath the quick access list in navigator, all I have is 'desktop'. Everything else is under that. But all the pics I've seen of windows 10 show 'this PC' as the top level link. I would much prefer that. "desktop' ends up being twice in the tree, and removable media twice as well. Well, actually desktop is right inside my user folder too!

Anybody know a fix? It's impossible to search for, as all the search terms bring up much more common problems.

I wish I could just decide in a simple way what is shown in this pane and in what order!!!

I unpinned the File Explorer icon from the Taskbar then created a new shortcut to My PC and pinned it to the Taskbar.

That does not work for me. I get the exact same layout of the navigation pane, no matter what I use to create it.

I even went to folder options and set the root to 'this PC' instead of quick access, and it still shows the desktop as root.

I don't want to have to see all my desktop folders, just to see my drives!!

View tab -> Navigation Pnae button -> uncheck "Show all folders"
