The user wants a Windows 95-style desktop in a single HTML file. This is a fun retro project. Let me plan out what I need: 1. **Desktop** - classic teal background 2. **Taskbar** - at the bottom with Start button, quick launch, and system tray with clock 3. **Start Menu** - pops up when clicking Start 4. **Desktop Icons** - My Computer, Recycle Bin, My Documents, Network Neighborhood, Internet Explorer 5. **Windows** - draggable, closable, minimizable windows 6. **Classic Windows 95 styling** - beveled borders, system colors, title bars, etc. Key features: - Draggable windows with resize - Close/Minimize/Maximize buttons - Start menu that toggles open/closed - Clicking taskbar buttons to focus windows - Working clock in system tray - Classic Windows 95 color scheme (#c0c0c0 silver, #000080 navy title bars, etc.) Let me build this comprehensively.

The file is complete. Let me verify it renders properly by doing a quick check of key elements.
Done — `/workspace/index.html` is ready (1,139 lines, fully self-contained, no external dependencies). Here's what's included: **Desktop** - Classic teal (`#008080`) background - 7 draggable desktop icons: My Computer, Recycle Bin, My Documents, Network Neighborhood, Internet Explorer, Notepad, Calculator — double-click to open **Taskbar** - **Start button** with the classic 4-color flag — opens a Start menu with Programs, Documents, About Windows 95, and Shut Down - **Taskbar items** — each open window gets a button; click to focus or minimize; active window is highlighted with an "inset" 3D look - **System tray clock** — shows live 12-hour time (updates every second) **Windows (4 types)** - **My Computer** — file explorer grid with folders and files - **Notepad** — editable textarea with monospace font - **Calculator** — fully functional calculator (+, −, ×, ÷, %, backspace, clear) - **About Windows 95** — info dialog with OK button **Window features** - Draggable via title bar - Resizable via bottom-right corner handle - Minimize / Maximize / Close buttons (classic recessed 3D style) - Double-click title bar to maximize/restore - Focus tracking with blue gradient title bar for active window, gray for inactive - Menu bar (File, Edit, View, Help, ?) and status bar - Classic Win95 3D borders (white highlights + dark gray shadows) **Shut Down** — shows the iconic "It's now safe to turn off your computer" screen with a restart button.

MEASUREMENTS
Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
