File Explorer: Difference between revisions

File Explorer was first introduced during [[Windows 95]] development, but did not start out looking like its final design. In early builds, Explorer was named Cabinet, the Taskbar functioned as a folder, and the unified Start Menu was not present, instead divided into three separate menus, each providing a portion of the final functionality. The first menu—denoted by the Windows logo—acted as a system menu where applications could be accessed via the 'Run' dialog, also holding the options to manipulate windows and shutdown Windows. The second menu—denoted by a magnifying glass with an eye—provided Windows Search-like functionality. The last menu is the 'Help' menu where the Windows documentation and basic system information could be accessed.
