There is a windows phone apps for desktop and modern windows that used to sync content between your PC and phone (Like Nokia PC Suite) and there is a tools for recovery called lumia recovery tools.

For WP 7 there is a Zune for it

Thanks I've tried that, I'm going to Microsoft store tommorow for assistance, I don't own a personal pc so I was hoping for a mobile app, appreciate your help though.

I'm confused here. You want to access a Windows Desktop, but you don't have a PC?

On my android there is a windows file manager that converts all my contents apks,media,any file that's on phone and it displays it in windows desktop view, on my device, basically a file explorer but its windows desktop made by windows, i was curious as to why there is not a file explorer on windows store that has this capability , its made by Microsoft but I can't find it, for android its called windows file manager

Microsoft has an app called "Files".

if you looking to browse content with USB cable just plug it to your PC you can browse the files in both Phone and SD card Memory
when you want to install apps from .XAP file put it to your SD card. then open store tiles the SD card section should be there

What is the app called?

Don't forget there's now also the MS-DOS for Mobile app !

Srsly tho.... I presume the OP means this one:

If that is the one, that's a lot of chrome that doesn't, IMO, translate well to a small screen touch interface. But, YMMV.

Partly, due to design and intentional limitations, a lot of the file system in WP is presently off limits.

Just search for file managers on windowsphone.com, try a couple, and enjoy.

It's a Microsoft application devloped by Microsoft its call Windows File Manager, I'm trying to post the link you screen shots but apparently I don't have enough posts yet, anyways its a really cool app, it even accesses one drive and your able to view all phone and cloud storage content, it resembles a pc.experience completely.

File system on WP isn't showed whatever the apps uses. Why? Because the apps run on sanbox mode so they can't modify the system.
System can set apps to do few thing (lockscreen, ringtones) but it just only when user modify it on setting they can't do themself
