Default File Explorer added to the desktop right click context menu

Can the Windows 10 "File Explorer" be added to the desktop right click
context menu?

How?

When I search for how, I get all the wrong answers for pages on end.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+add...conte xt+menu

Those answers are how to delete the context menu altogether, and how to add
programs to the context menu like opening a command window but not how to
add the actual file explorer to the desktop right click context menu.

Can you find a description of how to add the "File Explorer" to the menu?

Well the program is explorer.exe and should work just like any program
does in the examples above. I've not tried it but if I type
explorer.exe in a command prompt the file explorer starts up.

You can try Context Menu Editor 1.1:

I tried it on win10 pro 1809 64bit and works fine.

To right-click on the desktop means you need a piece of it on which to
right-click. That could mean having to close or minimize windows to get
some desktop on which to right-click.

Use the Win+E keystroke combination. Easier than getting at the
desktop, right-click on it, move the mouse to the context menu entry,
and click on it.
