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 installation

Later, In another question, somebody answered it is related to the Shell Extensions especially the shell folder. And I am not sure How to create a shell folder, if anyone knows kindly suggest me a way to create a one like Onedrive or Dropbox

sample:
