File Types - File Folder vs Folder

[Guest Tecknomage]

This is something that has bugged me for years.

 

The File Types = File Folder & Folder (with the same icon)

 

The only difference I can see is the command used:

File Folder = find

Folder = explore & open

 

My question, WHY these 2 File Types with the same icon????

Because they are both folders?

 

"File Folder" = physical folders (AKA "directories") on the disk.

 

"Folder" = the above OR folder like objects such as "My Computer", etc.

I believe he has it reversed. I have "CMD prompt here" available in the

"Folder" but not "File Folder" only "find".

Now that's confusing.

 

Home & work, "Command Prompt Here" is in File Folder.

 

Used MS Power Toy installer in both cases.
