Definition: Explorer
The user interface in Windows starting with Windows 95. It includes the Start menu, Taskbar, desktop and file manager. For most users, the term refers only to the Explorer file manager, which is used to copy, rename and delete files and folders. The same file manager functionality in Explorer is also available from within Internet Explorer, Microsoft's Web browser. See EXPLORER.EXE, file manager, Win Explorer and Internet Explorer.
