In 2014, French hackers Jankenpopp and Zombectro created Windows 93. The web-based "operating system," which can be found at Windows93.net, allows users to access a number of clever, comedic programs, including:
- A "finished" version of Half-Life 3 that never progresses past the loading screen
- A Minesweeper variant called BrianSweeper that the user can never win
- An Internet Explorer variant called Cat Explorer that allows users to access 90s-themed webpages
When a user right-clicks a Windows 93 desktop shortcut and selects , the user's web browser downloads an LNK42 file. LNK42 files contain information Windows 93 uses to open an associated program. For example, the file Recorder.lnk42 contains information ("exe":"recorder") Windows 93 uses to open its Recorder program.
In some cases, LNK42 files also include the path at which a shortcut's icon can be found. Continuing the prior example, Recorder.lnk42 tells users its icon is located at /c/sys/skins/w93/apps/recorder.png in Windows 93.
