Where's the Select Folder button in File Explorer?
Win 11 Pro 24H2. I'm new to Win 11 (from 10 Pro) and just started setting up a laptop, but ran into something seemingly basic that I wasn't expecting. In File Explorer, I've highlighted a folder and it shows a check next to it, but I don't see a Select Folder button to implement it ("Quick Launch").

Thanks.
