Windows 95 build 73g

Windows 95 build 73g is a Milestone 5 build of Windows 95. It is the second Chicago Preliminary Development Kit (PDK2) release. Unlike its predecessor, build 73f, this build was distributed to external testers and developers. 
The DDK for this build was uploaded to the Internet Archive on 2 April 2024.https://archive.org/details/chicopdk-2

==Differences from build 73f==
Build 73f is an earlier recompile of build 73g. Thus, this build shares most of the new features from build 73f, with some exceptions: 
*The desktop wallpaper is no longer set to tiled by default.
*SUWIN.EXE has some string changes (to change valid beta site ID/password).
* The included WinBug utility is for external testers instead of internal testers, and is more resemblant of that from build 58s instead of build 73f.

===Start button and menu===
Although this build still has three separate Start buttons and menus like build 58s, it already contains the necessary resources to enable a single unified Start menu (but not the single button), similar to that in build 81. A tutorial on how to remove the two extra buttons and display only the unified menu is available on BetaArchive.https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=26919
==SETUP_INF text resource in SUWIN.EXE==
An encrypted resource in TEXT section of SUWIN.EXE exists at offset 0x31400, with a length of 0x1AC, which could be XOR-decrypted using the key "felix", in which reveals the following list of internal network shares.
