Yes, I know.

The question is WHERE can I enter them?

I don't want to open a terminal/CmdPrompt and type it in manually.

The switch should be added to TaskBar File Explorer Shortcut directly.

Again: When I right-click on FileExplorer Icon in TaskBar, then right-click on "File Explorer" context sub entry and go to Shortcut Tab then I cannot enter the switches/parameters. the "Target" entry field is greyed out/disabled for editing.

Do I have to get administrator privilege for my user to let me enter something in "Target" entry field?

How do I get TEMPORARILY Admin permissions for this task?

Right click on the desktop New > Shortcut enter the target text. Drag the shortcut into the task bar to pin it
