Yes, Win95 called it My Computer, but at the time it was maybe the only GUI to do that. I remember the trend really kicked off in the early aughts with MySimon and their advertising campaign. Then all of a sudden every header in the OS got the word "My" tacked on.
What do you mean header in the OS? Like .h files? I haven’t seen this.
No like textual headers of windows and settings sections. Shit like "My Settings".
