Microsoft Renames Windows Explorer to File Explorer

[JMH]

While Microsoft have made quite a number of tweaks in the recent Consumer Preview of Windows 8, they also promised that there was a few more little surprises in store for us by the time the final Release To Manufacturing (RTM) copy of [FONT=inherit !important][FONT=inherit ! important]Windows [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=inherit !important][/FONT] hits stores.

The latest little tweak that we’ve discovered is quite minor, but relevant none the less. Microsoft have no renamed the “Windows Explorer” to “File Explorer“. However none of the functionality of it has changed what so ever, it’s merely just a [FONT=inherit !important][FONT=inherit ! important]name [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=inherit !important][FONT=inherit ! important]change[/FONT][/FONT].

Windows Explorer, File Explorer, the thing-a-ma-jig for managing files. I see the name commonly shortened to Explorer.

So long as they manage to fix the auto refresh bug/design from W7, we really don't care :)
