I clicked on it and got a display of all the root folders, so it was ok regardless of the wrong icon. From there, clicking on anything opens it, so then there's another batch of icons. Etc. Icon view folder after icon view older. Speaking of old. The Apple menu displays lists, which are, for me, easier to use. Icons are there, too, to the left of the names, ala the list or columns folder views. Click the Apple, drag the mouse cursor where you want to be, let it go, and you're there.
