Every folder i open have " - File Explorer" added to its name
Win 11
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
Yes, someone else mentioned that as a comment on here. MS added that.
Do you have a link? when im contacting MS they have no idea why is that taking palace
I do not. I just remember it being left as a comment in another issue here.
what if you uninstall EP?
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.
I do not. I just remember it being left as a comment in another issue here.
what if you uninstall EP?
The issue persists even after uninstalling.
me too - super annoying
So you want EP to remove the "- File Explorer" which latest Windows updates brought?

YES! We also don't know if Windows 11 will fix this issue.
It might be on purpose to let you know it is file explorer that you have open.
its not on purpose. i have spoke with MS via chat - they ara clueless
Do other applications, that you have open, include "- application name" on their application icon in the taskbar when opened?
no. its only for folders
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!
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!
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.
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.
