NT 3.51 had some interesting things that didn't make it across because things got overwritten by Windows 95 versions. Progman.exe actually allowed nested program groups. Winfile.exe supported long filenames. These both seem to have been overwritten by the versions from Windows 95 (with their Windows 3.1 ancestry) so lost those functions going forward.

Those were still included in Windows NT 4.0 as optional features (similarly to the Win 3.1 tools on Windows 95).

Not that it matters much, but winfile.exe with long filename support lives on and can be installed from the Store even on Windows 10. https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-file-manager/9P7VBBBC49RB?hl=de-at&gl=at&ocid=badge&rtc=1 https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-file-manager...
