Why does part of the Windows 98 Setup program look older than the rest?
Ask and ye shall receive: https://github.com/Microsoft/winfile
File Manager, or winfile.exe, was the predecessor to Explorer's file management aspects. You can use it on Windows 10 and 11 (and all the others) if you want to.
Program Manager, or progman.exe, was the predecessor shell to Explorer. It was included with Windows through Windows XP SP1 before finally being stubbed in SP2. You can probably grab the binary from XP SP1 and run it in newer Windows versions, though.

RIP, WordPad
> Plenty of open source apps are abandoned. The maintainers get tired, too busy, or whatever.
Other people can pick up the baton. For example my window manager of choice is Window Maker which was abandoned for literally years (fortunately since the underlying tech doesn't change every other month, it still kept working) before someone else it picked it up and nowadays there are a few developers working on it.
> If it was open source, the odds are no one would care to take over maintenance (though they could) since it’s basically redundant at this point.
When Microsoft opensourced winfile[0] (the file manager from Win3.x/NT 3.x) some developers did flock to it (i personally even added a small feature to allow for multiple file masks which was merged), so i'm pretty sure the same would happen for an opensourced wordpad.

A Windows 95-like shell for Windows 3.1x
The funniest thing is that they're trying to "provide welcome relief from the awkwardness of File Manager"... which Microsoft open-sourced a few years ago[1], to much acclaim from its many fans[2]

For those who use Core installs, what are your pain points?
A file manager. I've been contributing to https://github.com/microsoft/winfile but my real goal is to have a WinPE/Core thing that is self contained but offers some explorer-like convenience.

Windows 11 File Explorer Might Have "Ads" in the future. It is probably in A/B testing so don't get crazy mode yet. Hope they'll kill this idea without thinking much about it tho.
