File Explorer is the default file manager files των Windows. Επιτρέπει στο χρήστη να εκτελέσει όλες τις βασικές λειτουργίες αρχείων όπως αντιγραφή, μετακίνηση, deletion, renaming and so on.
During the development of Windows 10, the Microsoft updated folder icons, control panel and system app icons several times.

The first build that came with new icon of Explorer was Windows 10 build 9841:
The next major update came with Windows 10 build 9926, where the image became bright yellow:
Microsoft was strongly criticized for building this icon in build 9926
So, after a few builds, Windows 10 build 10130 came up with new icons that had a more soft yellow color.
In Windows 10 build 10158, Microsoft mixed the updated build 10130 icon with the "old" build 9926 icon. This resulted in the build 10158 icon
The same image was also used in build 14.352.
The next new icon appeared in Windows 10 build 14328
The image was almost colorless similar to the modern Microsoft images it uses for Universal applications:

Just for comparison, below is the File Explorer icon used in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1:
And here is its icon Windows XP:
