Hey all, Phonica here.
A little tool I knocked up - Takes an INF file as a param (If none is given
a common open box shows up) and passes it to setupapi.dll to be installed.
Usefull for installing device drivers etc.
Tool + Source Can be found on bugzilla bug 428
http://www.reactos.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=428
Writen in VC60 C++ (no MFC)
Hope y'all like it :)
What are you kidding??? Please change this back as it makes ReactOS
worse than before. Now your ReactOS installation will conflict with
an existing Windows or ReactOS installation. This is IMHO way worse
than not supporting two broken applications.

Hello,
Recently I've been trying to figure out why I am unable to load
ReactOS. I am being stopped each time when ReactOS attempts to load
the miniport driver. I believe the problem is that DISPLAY1 is not
being expanded/pointed to some real file. I assume somewhere in the boot
process that \??\DISPLAY1 is supposed to link to somewhere. I am using CVS
(synced from 09/29/2004) and am wondering if any of you guys can take a
look at the debug log and tell me what i'm missing.
The debug log [around 80k] is here:
http://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/093005
I have also posted my hive files if they are relevant:
http://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hivecls.infhttp://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hivedef.infhttp://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hiveinst.infhttp://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hivesft.infhttp://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hivesys.inf
I am open to trying any patches or enabling debugging on any additional
files to help out. Currently, the following modules are enabled for
debugging support:
ntoskrnl\ke\main.c
ntoskrnl\io\create.c
ntoskrnl\ldr\init.c
subsys\csrss\init.c
subsys\win32k\ldr\loader.c
subsys\win32k\objects\dc.c
I have tried copying the file vbemp.sys to E:\DISPLAY1 but I got the same
debug log. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance,
Devin Smith
I am currently planning on fixing our User Management code. Before i do
i'd like some advice.
First, We need to decide on some folder names for User Profiles. I'd
recommend a "ReactOS Users" folder or equivalent. This doesn't
interfere with Windows nor older versions of ReactOS.
Second, I'm beginning to understand enough about MSGINA/WinLogon/and the
log on process in general that i could probably implement a basic form
of user authentication. However, this will mean that ROS will end up
asking for a username/password every time it boots...shall i implement
this now and maybe add an #if 0 to skip over it? Or shall we use some
sort of auto login functionality. (like windows, but the implementation
won't be the same, i'm unsure about how windows accomplishes it)
Eric Khol has done a good job with alot of the security related stuff,
but there is soooo much more to be added, and alot to be changed. (As
previously mentioned here and discussed on IRC, Windows does NOT USE
environment variables in the registry. The stuff is hardcoded, registry
is set up the first time the user logs on.)
How about
"Now I am satisfied. Thank God, I have done my duty"

Hi everyone,
Great news, it seems that Microsoft's patent on FAT has been rejected. This
means that our LFN conversion is safe from any licensing issues, and any
other patents we might've had the possiblity to infringe.
Best regards,
Alex Ionescu

Well, As Royce pointed out to me yesterday, it appears that the user
profile is created the first time the user logs on...and the registry
entries are set up. My question is how should this be handled in ROS?
In WINLOGON? Does anyone have any documentation on the windows logon
procedure available?
