Remarks
Use the InitialFolder property to specify the initially selected folder in the file manager, where a user starts browsing. If the property value is empty, the file manager uses the path from the FileManagerSettings.RootFolder property as an initial folder.
Note
Do not assign absolute paths to the InitialFolder property. Set only paths that are relative to the root folder (FileManagerSettings.RootFolder).
