Or better said... explorer.exe = Windows Explorer (aka, the file manager) iexplore.exe = Internet Explorer

I wonder why Apple had the directories arranged in the order that they did in the sidebar. Desktop is a subdirectory of the home directory, yet it was placed above the shortcut to the home directory. Placing it underneath it instead emphasizes the relationship of subdirectory better. Also, why put the Applications shortcut underneath the home directory in the sidebar? Applications is not inside the home directory, so I placed its shortcut above that of the home directory.

It's because the sidebar does *NOT* reflect the hierarchical folder structure. The desktop folder has been the "main" folder for most users "just to put stuff" for 24 years on the Macintosh computer, that's why it's kept at the top. The home folder, then, came along with OS X, so it's right there as well. Applications are a separate thing, but still important.
