Also known as Windows Explorer, Explorer is used in Microsoft
Windows 95 and above to explore and manage the files
on the computer drives. Although
similar, Microsoft Explorer is not the same as "My
Computer" and is not "Microsoft
Internet Explorer", even though Internet Explorer is
sometimes improperly referred to as Explorer.
Below is an example of what Explorer may look like.
