In the catalog/contents pane and browse boxes, under computer, are folders that live on my desktop. I have no use for these folders appearing in Pro, at least like this; they take up a lot of vertical space in the pane and I will never use them in ArcGIS. Could these be collapsed into a "Desktop" category, removed altogether, or perhaps give users the option to specify which containers appear under Computer?

Use folder connections then

@EricAnderson_DHS  I do use folder connections. Thanks.

@wayfaringrob  The advantage of the change is to be able to view everything on your computer without having to manually make folder connections. If you have too much junk on your desktop, it's probably time to clean it up. Otherwise, making a folder connection to a subdirectory which has all your GIS stuff is probably preferred.

I agree with this. I just spent an hour trying to search for a solution.
