The desktop in OS/2 & later, was called the "Workplace Shell".  It was
the first place I ever saw an FTP folder, where you could create a
folder of an FTP site.  There were also folders that you could use as a
work place and when you closed it, all the documents would close.  When
you opened that folder later, your documents would reopen, so you could
continue working where you left off.  Also, while the EAs were indeed
part of the HPFS file system, it was the desktop that made much use of them.
