Sort of... Never really was into Active Desktop but it is great for displaying jpegs on the desktop. I want to write an explorer that is about the same as XPs. I want it to be able to use AJAX really but be able to interact with Explorer through Javascript via XUL. Even deleting files and such. This will also allow Explorer to do some extra things like display thumbnail images, read deeper into a folders contents and provide a metadata engine. I was even thinking of adding an embedded mysql server that would allow users to add metadata to folders, files, and file system objects. This metadata would be stored in a hidden folder on the root of the hard disk much like XPs VolumeInformation folder. I think this would be a great method to getting reactos to compete with Windows. Also I want it to be able to be customized using XML files... Not sure how to go about starting really. But I was also thinking this would allow someone to work on a konfabulator or Dashboard and Expose type feature to reactos (When the system is more stable and faster)...

You're suggesting Active Desktop with IE's OSS Equivalent?

I was looking at reactos control panels and was wondering if there was any MS HTA or something like it embedded. I was thinking that XUL, Firefox, and Mozilla could be integrated into the Explorer and other things to dynamically update the interface of Reactos. Something like Apple's Safari RSS Reader, and Explorer's (XP) Sidebars with common tasks and utilities. _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev
