What's Wrong?

Clicking "Open Extensions Folder" button returns an error dialog with message

"C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Claude\Claude Extensions" is unavailable....

Similar error dialog shows up when "Open Extension Settings Folder" is clicked

What Should Happen?

I see a folder "Claude Extensions" in the follwoing path

C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Claude_pzs8sxrjxfjjc\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude

With the new build being installed on a different path now, the buttons should point to the new path
