		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;quot;On &lt;a href=&quot;/index.php/Microsoft_Windows&quot; title=&quot;Microsoft Windows&quot;&gt;Microsoft Windows&lt;/a&gt;, a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;special folder&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a &lt;a href=&quot;/index.php/Directory_(computing)&quot; title=&quot;Directory (computing)&quot;&gt;folder&lt;/a&gt; which is presented to the user through an interface as an abstract concept instead of an...&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;On [[Microsoft Windows]], a '''special folder''' is a [[Directory (computing)|folder]] which is presented to the user through an interface as an abstract concept instead of an absolute folder path. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The synonymous term '''shell folder''' is sometimes used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Special folders make it possible for any application to ask the operating system where an appropriate location for certain kinds of files can be found, regardless of what version or language of Windows is being used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Windows Server 2003 and earlier, a folder like the &amp;quot;Start Menu&amp;quot; had a different name on non-English versions of Windows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, on German versions of Windows XP it is &amp;quot;Startmenü&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, since Windows Vista, all Versions of Windows use the same English named folders and only display different names in the [[Windows Explorer]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Windows 10 the user can switch to another display language and the names of the special folders will change.&lt;br /&gt;
