   What does that icon do that Win+E doesn't? (I'm genuinely asking; I   
   rarely use desktop icons, as they're usually obscured.)   
      
   [I just minimised enough windows to be able to see whether I have a This   
   PC icon on my desktop - I do; activating it _looks_ as if it does the   
   same as Win+E, i. e. opens up Explorer at a high level - showing the   
   (library?) Folders (6), Devices and drives (4 in my case), and Network   
   locations (1 in my case).]
