Windows 10: What does "application folder" mean in this post?

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/all/where-is-the-skype-app-located-on-windows-10-pc/a14faf3b-a470-43ae-9db2-cd4739842a29Ruwim.B says "Microsoft Skype for Windows 10 Skype UWP is an intrinsic Windows App, and as such, cannot be activated from the application folder."To my interpretation of the sentence, he means to say that UWP programs can not be opened from application folder.But I do not understand what application folder is. Can someone tell me plz.

Change Folder View Layout in Windows 10


"uhm that method does not work. i want to set folder view as List as default instead Details for all folders"
Did you download and run Brink's .bat file in Step 1 ? Lacking that, look at the screens in post 3. In Step 5 'folders of this type' defaults to each of the Windows templates for Pictures, Music, etc. If you want ALL folders to have the same List view, r-click any folder in each of the 5 folders under This PC (Desktop does not apply) and hit 'Customize this folder'. Set to 'Optimize this folder for General Items". Then follow the screen in post 3 using List instead of Details in Step 1 and you should be good to go.
