Windows 95 build 73f is a Milestone 5 build of Windows 95. This build was found in 2014 by BetaArchive member sunnyblueman. It is nearly identical to the previously leaked build 73g. The main difference is that this is an internal build and thus includes an internal version of the WinBug utility, while build 73g was released to external testers and thus features a different WinBug.

There are notable changes in this build compared to build 58s. Many aspects of Windows were ported to 32-bits, including the Cabinet shell. The taskbar no longer functions as a folder by default. Instead, it now displays the running apps in a similar way to the modern taskbar. This build introduces the Briefcase special folder, which is meant to sync files between itself and another folder.
