===Windows Explorer ===
Similar to [[Microsoft Office 2010]] and [[Windows Live Essentials]], the re-designed Windows Explorer will use the [[Ribbon interface]] to enhance discoverability of commands and bring relevant commands to users depending on their file selection. For example, selecting photos in a folder brings up tools to rotate the photos and to start a slide show. The interface was selected to bring forward the most commonly-used commands for easy access.<ref name="Explorer Improvements">[http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/08/29/improvements-in-windows-explorer.aspx "Improvements in Windows Explorer"].

Additionally, Windows Explorer features a redesigned preview pane that takes advantage of widescreen layouts and the "Up" button removed from Windows Explorer in [[Windows Vista]] and [[Windows 7]] is now included in the interface.<ref name="Explorer Improvements" />
