Create Windows Explorer Addon

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
