The MS-DOS Executive is the shell and default application launched upon boot in Windows 1.0 through Windows 2.1. It is a simple file manager and program launcher.
History[]
MS-DOS Executive was only available in the x86 16-bit architecture and was replaced by File Manager and Program Manager in Windows 3.0. However, it continued to be included until it was removed from Windows 3.1 build 061d. MS-DOS Executive will only run on Windows 7 or older; newer versions of Windows will respond with "This app can’t run on your PC."
