Dear all,

I want to create a quite simple Addin for the Windows Explorer (Version Windows 10).

It should have an own Ribbon Menu with 3-4 icons representing file and folder management features like creating a new folder following naming conventions, etc.

I'm somehow not getting a starting point even though I googled a while now. Do you know some good tutorials or guides for "Windows Explorer Addon Development"? For e.g. Outlook Addon Development it seems to be easier.

Regards,
dawires

    You can see Extending Windows Explorer
    and also the source code of PowerToys (File Explorer add-ons utility) : PowerToys (but it is complex...)
