Windows 10: Can someone give me a template to make explorer.exe?

I dunno how to make explorer.exe

Folder Template with shortcut to folder inside folder.

I showed you the principle of a method that will do what you wish. To apply it to any folder structure you need to understand how it works.

• In my shortcut I defined the "Start in" folder as %CD%. This means that the shortcut must use the
  current folder as its base. In my example this was C:\Templates\Template1\TestA.
• For the shortcut I used this command line:
  
  explorer.exe ..\TestB\Target
  
  What exactly does this do? Here is the explanation:
  
  1. "..\" tells Explorer to step on up in the directory tree:
  
  C:\Templates\Template1\TestA -> C:\Templates\Template1
  
  2. "TestB" tells Explorer to steop one down in the directory tree:
  
  C:\Templates\Template1 -> C:\Templates\Template1\TestB
  
  3. "Target" tells Explorer to open the file or folder "Target".

Applying this knowledge, you could create a shortcut that makes Explorer step up two folders:

Explorer.exe ..\..\Template2\TestB\Target

C:\Templates\Template1\TestA

-> C:\Templates\Template1

-> C:\Templates

-> C:\Templates\Template2

-> C:\Templates\Template1\TestB

-> Open "Target"

Armed with this knowledge you can now fix your shortcut yourself.

 

It's Time to Update File Explorer for More Than a Music Default Template

There is not just one template in File Explorer, there are five standard templates:

• Generic
• Documents
• Music
• Pictures
• Video

and each of these can be modified to your liking.

If you are seeing Music tasks in the Ribbon and music-specific columns in a Detail view when you view your C: drive or a Documents folder, something is off.

Post back with specifics.

How to stop the yellow "custom office templates" from appearing?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for sharing your concern with us here in Microsoft Community.

I understand you would want to stop the custom office templates from appearing in your file explorer. Let's go ahead and work on your issuer together.

I would like to ask some favor from you before we formally begin.

1. Can you share us a screenshot on the interface of your File Explorer now with all those custom templates showing?

2. When did the issue start and what changes have you made prior to this issue?

While waiting for your answer, here's a few steps you can try in your end.

To stop the “Custom Office Templates” folder from appearing in your File Explorer’s “Documents” page on Windows 11, you can try the following steps:

1. Open File Explorer.
   
2. Click on the See more (three-dotted) button and click on Options.
   
3. Under the Privacy section, clear the Show files from Office.com option.
   

If the above steps don’t work, you can try right-clicking on the “Custom Office Templates” folder in Windows Explorer and selecting Properties. Then, check the Hidden box under the Attributes section of the dialog. If you’ve set Windows Explorer to show hidden items, the hidden folder will only be greyed out. To turn off the option, go to Tools > Folder Options > View on Windows 7, or on the View ribbon in Windows 8.1 or 10.

Please refer to this Community thread to learn more about this issue.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards
