And hence this question, how do I chainload the Clover/OC EFI file from the Windows Boot Manager menu? No way that I know of, you need to use another bootloader first, OC/Clover must come first. (Adding OpenCore via BCDEdit has always borked my Windows installs.) rEFInd will do this, but you need to mount your EFI (ESP) in windows with read/write, and swap bootloaders. This requires a whole bunch of steps using diskutil, or a 3rd party equivalent, explorer++ (as Administrator).

Just a heads up, I currently use Explorer++ to do this function for my role at work. TBH that app is pretty ancient compared to this new file manager but it works for my purposes.

Launch a 3rd party file explorer (or cmd) as TrustedInstaller and you will be able to replace/modify the templates.

Download this: https://explorerplusplus.com/, extract it to your desktop, right click on it and run it as admin. Then through this program try to access the files that are giving you permission errors.

Btw if you need to launch a file explorer with TrustedInstaller rights you can use 7-Zip or something like Explorer++ since the default explorer can't be (easily) launched with TrustedInstaller rights.

QTTabBar or you could switch to Explorer++.

Try something like Explorer++.

Not with the default explorer. However you could get Explorer++ and use that for when you want to see all files. It also has tabs many other useful features.

It's possible adding Explorer++ might work.

Linux Mint

Ones I can recommend for a beginner are Fedora, Linux Mint and Ubuntu.

The distro I always reccomend for beginners is linux mint with the cinnamon DE (no it does not matter what that is). This is the most user friendly windows like experience you can get except the store is the thing you'd actually want to use unlike windows where you have to get some shady msi apps.

I strongly recommend you Linux Mint because is lighter, more familiar, stable and functional.
