Windows 10: How to create a special folder like Onedrive or dropbox in window file explorer

Hi, I am developing a desktop app for windows using electron js, and I want to create a folder that should stay underneath the quick access folder in the file explorer as the Onedrive does, I have searched about it but couldn't find how it was done. Kindly help me out how to programmatically add the Folder to file explorer after the installationsample:Thanks for your time.

Dropbox and Windows Explorer


For a while, I have had issues with windows explorer renaming files in my dropbox folders. There is a lag when I go to rename files. Many times if I restart explorer, it speeds up to only slow down. I have tried various things I have found on the net (need to look it up again to list).

I am wondering it if is with the overlay icons. I am not using onedrive. However, at this location in the registry, onedrive has many entries so all DB entries are not in the first 15.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers


Here is the list in my registry. Wondering if i should delete he onedrive entries.

 

Duplicate Folders (OneDrive, Dropbox)

Is there a way to stop program folders from appearing more than one in file explorer? OneDrive and Dropbox appear in the navigation pane under Desktop and my user folder.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
