This is the window managing part which handles decoration and displays running applications as desktop icons if minimized. But where is the Program Manager?

- qwertfisch 3y agoThanks. :) The developer surely knew that there would be people that asked for the Program Manager, because it wasn't only a name for the desktop itself (like the Explorer with additional file manager windows). It was Windows. If you closed the Program Manager application, you were prompted a message box "Wanna exit Windows?" So there's a difference between implementing Windows 3 style desktop, and implementing the Program Manager (as kind of an early Start Menu).
