Editing File Explorer (section)

=== Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 ===
File Explorer's icons were redesigned to fit with the more flat and simplified theming of Windows 10 as a whole. The window border padding is thinner than previous versions. Windows 10 Creators Update and later versions come with a new Universal File Explorer (also known as the UWP File Explorer). Although hidden, it can be opened by creating a shortcut pointing to "explorer shell:AppsFolder\c5e2524a-ea46-4f67-841f-6a9465d9d515_cw5n1h2txyewy!App" <ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.windowslatest.com/2017/05/07/uwp-file-explorer-on-windows-10/|title=How to open UWP File Explorer on Windows 10 – Step by step|date=May 7, 2017|work=Windows Latest|access-date=August 24, 2018|archive-date=August 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180824183222/https://www.windowslatest.com/2017/05/07/uwp-file-explorer-on-windows-10/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/115275/windows-10-tip-unlock-uwp-file-explorer|title=Windows 10 Tip: Unlock the UWP File Explorer – Thurrott.com|date=May 6, 2017|work=Thurrott.com|access-date=August 24, 2018|archive-date=August 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180824183214/https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/115275/windows-10-tip-unlock-uwp-file-explorer|url-status=live}}</ref> A [[Dark mode]] was added to the software in 2018, to match similar themes available for other inbuilt Windows applications.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Blog |first=Windows Experience |last2=Writer |first2=Athima Chansanchai |date=2019-04-01 |title=Windows 10 Tip: Dark theme in File Explorer |url=https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/04/01/windows-10-tip-dark-theme-in-file-explorer/ |access-date=2024-05-07 |website=Windows Experience Blog |language=en-US}}</ref>
