Formerly known as “Windows Explorer”, a built-in application in Microsoft Windows that allows users to access and organize files, folders, and external drives connected to the computer. It serves as the primary means for users to find, open, move, copy, and delete files. Through File Explorer, users can also view detailed attributes about files and set file permissions or attributes.
Integral to the Windows experience, it has evolved over time, incorporating features like search capabilities, a quick access pane, and integration with cloud storage solutions.
