here’s a little known fact about WordPad: It was Microsoft’s first word processing program. Originally introduced as an add-on to MS-DOS in 1981, WordPad later became a part of Windows in the 1990s after the release of Windows 95. It was designed to be simpler and more user-friendly than its more advanced counterpart, Microsoft Word.

WordPad didn’t exist until Windows 95. You might be thinking of Microsoft Write, which predated it.
In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?
Definitely possible, but I think WordPad in Windows 95 was written from scratch.
