The 2nd answer above
d.InitialDirectory = "shell:MyComputerFolder"
works for the new OpenFolderDialog Class in C# Core 8 for WPF
I used it as below
var dialog = new OpenFolderDialog
{
Title = "Select Root Folder That Contains Media Files and or Subfolder with Files",
// Sets root to "This PC"
InitialDirectory = "shell:MyComputerFolder",
Multiselect = false
};
Thanks user CommonSense
The reason is that IntialDirectory requires a string and MyComputerFolder is a virtual folder which yields an empty string.. and doesn't recognize its special meaning.
