     Indeed! Windows XP fact WAS like that, it was the first version of Windows that could display HTML content right in the file Explorer and AFAIR, some of the standard actions were links to resources on the Web even. It came with horrible bugs, like UP'n'P one.

     @atom Time to install XP Antispy.

     Seriously, XP had a reputation for being overloaded with bloat back in the day. Ironically, its now remembered as simple and uncomplicated, because all versions that came after were even worse in that regard.

     @kirby @guenther @atom
     You might be right about this happening earlier than in XP — I was never an avid Windows user, I don't think I even ever had anything newer than 95 and older than 8 on my personal devices, but definitely not in 95 — that one didn't even ship with IE, you had to download either it or Netscape Navigator — most probably why they decided to make it pre-installed, but probably in one of the updates. And it wasn't that tightly integrated yet.

     @atom Still looks infinitely less hideous that Win11 start menu even without ads.
