I have a FolderBrowserDialog, displayed with code shown below. However, it keeps opening with 'Computer', i.e. the root of the folder tree, selected. How do I get it to open on the selected folder?

       var folderBrowser = new FolderBrowserDialog();
        folderBrowser.Description = "Select Chase 6 Installation Folder";
        folderBrowser.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
        folderBrowser.ShowNewFolderButton = false;
        if (Directory.Exists(Properties.Settings.Default.defaultChasePath))
        {
            string x = Properties.Settings.Default.defaultChasePath;
            folderBrowser.SelectedPath = x;
        }
        if (folderBrowser.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            chasePathtext.Text = folderBrowser.SelectedPath;
        }
