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.
