Hi,
I want to create an explorer with custom extension for eg:
explorer.abc and it should allow other files and folders to be moved or copied to it. :)
Please help me out. I'm very confused about where to start.

Thanks in advance!

I'm also very confused. Please try to refine your question. If you have problems expressing your true requirements it would best to start with formulating your use cases breaking them up into simple managable steps.
Thanks!

I don't think answering to the point make sense.
The problem is well known, makes sense, many people are working in this directions, there are very useful results. No help here is appropriate, except just one: OP could open an Open Source project, make other participants interested...

That is why I posted a comment instead of even trying to give an answer. It's just to broad a question for that! :)

This is I why I posted answer, not a comment.
If the answer to the point makes no sense, the answer in broader sense would make a point.

"I want to" and "I'm very confused" about the same thing are incompatible, please check up you logical reasoning. My feeling you do not really want it very much; but you're being forces by something or somebody. Is this case, your chances to get any help are really low. Remember, anyone needs some motivation to help you. Who will be interested in this case?

Also, please be advised: this resource is not designed to write any code by request. What's your own effort?

Thank you for understanding.

Sorry my reply doesn't sound very promising and thanks for understanding.
If you looked at my answers you would notice I can be quite generous if I find such Answer worthy.

Solution 4

These might help.

A Windows Explorer in a user control[^]
Windows Explorer in C#[^]

It would be best though to use what already exists (why do rework?).
