== New features and changes ==
=== From Bulid 90c ===
* WORK.BMP is no longer the default desktop background.
* This build includes an application to play CD Audio. It can be run via PLAYCDA.EXE, but it fails to load due to insufficient memory.
* The Games folder has been moved to inside the Accessories folder.
=== From Bulid 99 ===
==== Shell features ====
* This build is the first leaked build to remove the arrow on the right side of the Start button.
* The Taskbar now defaults to the bottom of the screen, much like build 81 and earlier.
* The "New" menu in the right-click menu removes most of the options; only a video clip, MIDI sequence, GIF file, wave sound, text document, and WordPad documents can be made. "Link" is also renamed to "Shortcut".
* The user can now align icons to a grid via the right-click menu.
* A prototype about box for Windows Explorer can be opened, but it results in the older dialog without information on the build number, user name, and organization.
==== Application features ====
* Most legacy apps from Windows for Workgroups 3.11 have been removed in this build. The removed applications include Cardfile, Clock (only the 32-bit version; the 16-bit version can still be run via CLOCK.EXE), Notepad (only 32-bit version; 16-bit version can be run via NOTEPAD.EXE), Terminal, and Solitaire.
* MAPI Spooler has been removed.
* Some applications are moved to the System Tools folder, such as the System Monitor and Administration Configuration Tool. The Administration Configuration Tool, Disk Defragmenter, and System Monitor has gained new icons as well.
* WinPad has been updated to version 1.3705.
* WritePad has been renamed to WordPad and has gained a new icon and some changes in the toolbar icons.
==== Control Panel features ====
* Two legacy applets have been removed, which are Fonts and Network Setup.
* The Disks applet has been removed in favor of the disk properties when right-clicking a disk on My Computer.
* Network Setup has been completely overhauled and merged with the Network applet.
* The Microsoft Windows logo in System Properties is present again.
* Date and Time applet has a Time Zone tab so the user can select the timezone. Unlike in Windows 95 RTM, the map is not interactable.
* The Display Settings can allow the saving of theme files. Alongside, Screen Saver previews are now seen when a screensaver is selected in the applet.
* The Virtual Memory slider in the System Properties has been removed.
==== Setup features ====
* Some text for the welcome headers had been enlarged and in a different font.
* Due to the updates to the Network applet, the Network settings can now be open during setup to allow the user to configure network card settings before starting setup.
* Advanced Settings now allow the user to utilize a Windows 3.1 compatibility mode (disable long filename support) and forcing 32-bit drivers (removing 16-bit drivers from AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to allow faster system performance)
*
