Remove Desktop Folder From "Folders"?

I'm becoming acclimatized to working in Bridge 2023 but one issue that is still mucking up my workflow is that whenever I move, double click a folder or rename anything in the Bridge "Folders" file browers when in the "This PC" folder, the "Desktop" folder expands. I don't know why it does this and it's become really annoying because I almost never access anything from the Desktop folder and I can get to it anyway in the "This PC" folder. 

When in "Folders" in the file browser, I see two folders when nothing is expaned - "Desktop" and under it "This PC". What I'd like to do is remove "Desktop" completely from the "Folders" window. Is this possible?  If not, is there a way to stop it from constantly expanding?
