Note: 

  • Changing the Browser Root Folder and leaving Send it to Server as Standard will change both where Browse Server and Send it to Server point.
  • Changing the Send it to Server and leaving the Browser Root Folder as Standard will only change where Send it to Server points.
  • The only instance in which you would set them both would be if you wanted different destinations for both.
