This is my first question, so I'll make it a good one.

Before I go on, the PC is working fine.

I have two versions of Explorer.exe for 95.
One is from IE4.01sp2, the other is from IE5.5sp2, forced to install with the desktop update.
They are both version 4.72.3612.1700, and 170,280 bytes.

Windiff reports that they are different. They seem to have the same contents, but in a completely different order.
The locations of the Start button tooltip and "Start" text are the same, though.

The question is, why are they different?
Is there any functional change, or is it just a programmer trying to earn his (or her) pay cheque?
