"Desktop" as Root in File Explorer instead of "This PC"

Hello,

in my new Windows 11 setup, I have this weird bug where the "Desktop" is the first item in the left panel. I can't imagine this being intended. Does anybody have a .reg file to make "This PC" the root of the list?

Thanks

    Hello Yannik,

    It looks like you have "Show all folders" turned on for the navigation pane in File Explorer. You can turn it off below.
