This is something that has bugged me for years.

The File Types = File Folder & Folder (with the same icon)

The only difference I can see is the command used:
File Folder = find
Folder = explore & open

My question, WHY these 2 File Types with the same icon????

Because they are both folders?

"File Folder" = physical folders (AKA "directories") on the disk.

"Folder" = the above OR folder like objects such as "My Computer", etc.

I believe he has it reversed. I have "CMD prompt here" available in the
"Folder" but not "File Folder" only "find".

Now that's confusing.

Home & work, "Command Prompt Here" is in File Folder.

Used MS Power Toy installer in both cases.
