Question about file management?

What is the name of the windows file management utility program that allows you to manage the content of your permanent storage devices (hard drive, USB flash drives)? HINT: It allows you to run programs and a folder icon appears in the taskbar for it.

This is for Windows 7 and the question is very confusing. I was thinking GUI and control panel?

    It's called "Windows Explorer". This should not be confused with Internet Explorer, a completely different program with a completely different purpose.

    "GUI" is just a general term for any graphical interface displayed on a screen. The Control Panel is sort of a separate program from Windows Explorer, and it has its own purpose, which is to provide a way to change the computer's settings.

    Desktop I presume. But what I know file management depends on the disk partition. Either the FAT 32 filling system or the NTFS filling sysytem.
