Solved create a shortcut / desktop link for file explorer in latest Insider builds

Hi folks
Some people like Icons on desktop -- file explorer is quite a good one to have.

It's not so easy these days with latest insider builds but can still be done easily enough.

1) On your desktop space simply right mouse click and choose New > Shortcut
2) type in %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe search-ms: then finish
3) rename explorer.exe to file-explorer



Then just clicking on the icon starts file explorer as normal.

Advantage of this to -- easy to run "as administrator" when you need to.

Cheers

What about simply drag-n drop?

I have it pinned to the Taskbar, only one click.
