    Why is the Windows 11 File Explorer less capable than the Windows 3.1 Explorer?


    Why is the Windows 11 File Explorer less capable than the Windows 3.1 Explorer? Why is it impossible to modify the view for all folder types? Whatever happened to the "Apply View" command in previous File Explorers? Why does Microsoft force me to spend at least 30 seconds whenever I want to sort a folder containing music files of different formats by file extension?

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Why is the Windows 11 File Explorer less capable than the Windows 3.1 Explorer? wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
