Phone-style folders for your Windows 11 desktop: drop one icon on another to make a group. Groups are virtual, so your files never move, and Windows' own desktop comes back as soon as you quit.

Install

  1. Download Folder.Explorer_0.3.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it. It installs for your user only, no administrator rights needed.
  2. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC": click More info → Run anyway.

Requires Windows 11 (x64); WebView2 is already part of Windows 11.

What's new in 0.3.0

  • English interface, now the default. Turkish is one click away in Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Language; the tray menu, Windows' New ▸ entry and error messages follow the language too.
  • Bilingual installer (English or Turkish, English preselected). The app starts in the language you install it in.
  • Open source under the MIT license.
  • Fixed: moving files into a folder finds where they landed even when they were passed as a short (8.3) path, so those moves can be undone.
  • Fixed: game mode no longer takes click-through screen overlays (recording frames, screen-sharing borders, GPU or chat overlays) for a full-screen game and hides the desktop.

Upgrading from 0.2.0: install over it. Your layout and settings stay; the app uses the language you pick in the installer.
