It's not _wrong_, it's different. And when the colors are slightly
changed, it looks alot better, than in windows, imho...

Imho users either know, if an icon is a shortcut or not, or don't even
know what a shortcut is, so these small icons could be removed.
But that's a topic we could have yearlong arguments on, so I guess these
things should stay the way they are and we should wait for more user
responses.

If all ReactOS-developers would love Windows, would this project even
exist??

From ReactOS.org :
"ReactOS aims to achieve complete binary compatibility with both
applications and device drivers meant for NT and XP operating systems,
by using a similar architecture and providing a complete and equivalent
public interface."
This says, we will create something compatible to windows, not a clone.

If you want everything to be like it is in windows, go and use windows.

Please excuse my hard formulation, I just wanted to point out, that this
project is not about _cloning_ windows, but about creating a innovative
OS, compatible to Windows NT.
