Synology help.
Discussion
I am sure this can't be as hard as I am finding it.
I have a synology NAS on the network and all the computers connect to see and see it as a folder in explorer. I can therefore navigate, copy, paste etc, just like it is a disk in the computer.
I have just installed new office PC and whilst it can see the NAS in file explorer, it brings up the NAS webpage when I click on it. I can't seem to set it as a folder of some sort.
How do I do it? Must have done it before

If it's showing up on one computer, it should be showing up on all of them. Reasons why it might not is that the computer where it's not showing up is in a different workgroup (or domain) than the Synology NAS is in. Or a different network.
If there is an icon that shows up in Windows Explorer, make sure you're clicking on the Windows Share name and not the UPNP device entry. They look quite different - see my example where my NAS is called NGNAS:
