This button has similar utility to the PC locations button in that we can use it to change what section of our hard drive we’re looking for books on.

As I stated, the PC location drop down menu will only include common hard drive areas and sections used by this application before. |
Press enter to open the Select a Folder dialog. Use the up and down arrows to navigate folders on your hard drive. Press the right arrow to open closed folders and press the left arrow to close open folders. Press enter on your selection. |
