I was hoping i could edit my previous post but that is not possible. What would be great is to have a script that takes the path of the current selected folder in Windows explorer and than puts the folders into a window alike iswitchw. The search allows for filtering of the folders and selecting also enters that folder in windows explorer. I tried asking ChatGPT. Although good at coding it presents a lot of errors I can't solve and also not completely sure what I ask is actually possible at all.

Why not just change explorer's options to make the current folder path the title of the window?

I have a a few folders with many subfolders (100+). Browsing through this list takes patience when looking for the right folder hence pressing the caps lock key when on such a folder would be very nice if it would present all subfolder in the window and when entering characters in the search field would update the list to only those that match. Pressing enter on the folder and having windows explorer actually enter that folder is very convenient.

Windows does not support a quick filter option on text within folder names (only the beginning and first match only). Total commander also does a great job but isn't always allowed in corporate environments.

Tried it but found it to be unstable making my system slow. Also the icon for powerpoint is not correctly displayed.
