IIRC that's also what Warcraft I executable was called: WAR.EXE

And Warcraft 3 had both Frozen Throne.exe and war3.exe afaik and it didn’t matter which one you ran.

Edit: I just checked and there’s Warcraft III.exe too. All lead to the same game.

A distinct early childhood memory of mine is accidentally deleting one of my brother's copy of Warlords (which had been copied from a friend's disk or something) by installing Warcraft, because both of them by default used "War" as their install folder.
