Microsoft
introduced this Windows Explorer feature from Windows 95 for managing and exploring
the files and folders present on different drives of our computer. It provides us
with a graphical user interface to access the files and folders of the computer.
This
is actually an operating system component which allows us to control the computer
with a graphical user interface.
It can be also called as Windows GUI shell. Windows
Explorer shows all the files and folders in My Computers, My Documents, My Network
Places, Recycle bin, Desktop.
