any way to remove that annoying text?

You're running an insider build of windows and that was recently added to it. Blame MS for that.

Not sure you are right, but ill try to explain the issue:

When you open folders and minimize them to the task bar " - File Explorer" is added to the title of each tab

romafrogs avatar Oct 12 '24 13:10 romafrogs

Yes, someone else mentioned that as a comment on here. MS added that.

pyrates999 avatar Oct 12 '24 14:10 pyrates999

Do you have a link? when im contacting MS they have no idea why is that taking palace

romafrogs avatar Oct 12 '24 14:10 romafrogs

I do not. I just remember it being left as a comment in another issue here.

what if you uninstall EP?

pyrates999 avatar Oct 12 '24 14:10 pyrates999

After updating my system and EP today, I encountered the same issue. I have not joined the Windows Insider Preview program. My OS version is 22631.4317, and the EP version is 22621.3880.66.6.

YES! We also don't know if Windows 11 will fix this issue.

zhanxiaoge avatar Oct 16 '24 02:10 zhanxiaoge

It might be on purpose to let you know it is file explorer that you have open.

pyrates999 avatar Oct 16 '24 08:10 pyrates999

its not on purpose. i have spoke with MS via chat - they ara clueless

romafrogs avatar Oct 16 '24 08:10 romafrogs

Do other applications, that you have open, include "- application name" on their application icon in the taskbar when opened?

pyrates999 avatar Oct 16 '24 08:10 pyrates999

no. its only for folders

romafrogs avatar Oct 16 '24 08:10 romafrogs

I find it very distracting as it just repeats for all folder. It would be a nice feature to remove it and the " and N more tab(s)" when you have tabs open.

I would love to see this option too!

explor202 avatar Nov 03 '24 16:11 explor202

I've been able to remove "file explorer" from being displayed using a Windhawk mod, but it's only working on 2 23H2 PC's. I've been unsuccessful getting it to work on 24H2, but I'm not sure if that's a compatibility issue or something else. I would much prefer having this handled by EP though!

explor202 avatar Nov 05 '24 14:11 explor202

Can you name the windhawk mod that removes the text file explorer from file explorer windows? I think EP only needs to update it's reimplemented windows 10 taskbar to support it then.

pyrates999 avatar Nov 06 '24 10:11 pyrates999

I'm using the Aerexplorer mod on 2 23H2 PC's and it works well at removing the suffix, though it does seem to increase the spacing between folder names. The mod does not appear to be compatible with 24H2.

The ability to remove the suffix, adjust spacing (compact/not compact) and increase/decrease the font size would be ideal.
