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.
I don't know if this is a good idea. Average users will expect a localized
'Documents and Settings' directory. Renaming it will confuse them. ReactOS
already solves naming conflicts with existing Windows installations.
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.)
I already have a patch for the common shell folders in the HKLM branch and
I'll fix the HKCU branch tomorrow. I already wanted to fix this some time
ago but the registry was playing some dirty tricks on me. This was caused by
the bitmap routine bug that was fixed a few days ago.
Regards,
Eric
