Turns out that I had updated the navigation pane in windows explorer months ago and removed the computer icon. I followed the how to below to add the computer icon back in:

This seems like an unnecessary dependency to use the actual explorer window in emeditor. It is not clear that if i config or alter the settings for windows explorer that it would change the behavior of the explorer plugin in emeditor. I know other editors, like notepad++, have an explorer window that works fine, and is not dependent on the configurations i make to windows explorer.

Hello,

Thanks for the response. the issue is not with marking a folder as root. It is with having the directory present in the tree to mark it as root. Please see the following.

This is the folder tree that is displayed when i first open the explorer plugin. I believe the tree view points to the location c:\users\user_name\desktop\ From here i can mark any folder that is in the sub tree as the root. So any nested folder inside the path c:\users\user_name\desktop\ i can navigate to and mark as root. What i can’t do is navigate to any path that is not within c:\users\user_name\desktop\.

For example, if I type in c:\accounts\ and hit enter in the path field in the explorer plug in and hit enter i still see the path c:\users\user_name\desktop\.

So i guess the main issues is not being able to navigate away from c:\users\user_name\desktop\ to anything else, like anything outside of the desktop.

Please let me know how i can fix this.

Thanks
