    Like, I can put a folder in my desktop with all my games or whatever. But when I open it it would be in file explore, and we’ll, I don’t want that. And you know how you can make folders in the start menu? And when you click on those folders the apps pop out. Is there anyway you can do something similar but on the desktop? And if so, is there any way you can choose where they pop out?

  2. How how do you always display text for start menu folders?

    Hi,

    Start Menu is one of the feature enhanced in Windows 10. You can customize Start Menu by following these steps:

    • Open Settings.
    • Choose Personalization.
    • Click Start.
    These are the options that you can see under Start:

    • With the Show more tiles, you can expand tile column.
    • Turning on Occasionally show suggestions in Start will show suggestions in Windows 10.
    • Show most used apps will show most used apps list on Start Menu.
    • Enabling Show recently added apps will display the program you installed last.
    • You can also view Start Menu in full screen by enabling Use Start full screen.
    • Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar
      will show your recently opened items.
    • To choose what apps or folders you like to appear on you Start Menu, you can click
      Choose which folders appear on Start.
    Note: You can also resize the Start Menu by simply dragging the top or the right edge of the Start Menu.

    Let us know how it goes.

  4. Is there anyway you can make folders like the one in the start menu on the desktop?

    Displaying Folder structure in the start menu All Apps

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To make sure I understand correctly, are you referring to expanding a folder in the start menu to view the extended folders?

    If so, I would suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps:

    1. After clicking "app apps", locate the folder from the list.

    2. Check if you see a small arrow like icon pointing downward near the folder.

    3. If so, click on it. This will expand all the folders and items included in that particular folder.

    Let us know if this helps.

    We will be glad to help if you need further assistance.
