This change integrates Electron into the Windows 98 Web Edition project, allowing it to be run as a standalone desktop application. It features real host filesystem access for the C: drive and removable disks, native Windows menus for system actions and device mounting, and a persistent configuration for the user's selected system folder. The web version remains fully compatible through dynamic environment detection and relative path handling.
