"[shell32] Shell dialog issues" .- CORE-10481

[Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo]

Are you sure its better to follow Win behavior on this?

I think its a enhancement, specially if there are many open windows at a
given time....

it saves time!

[Hermès BÉLUSCA-MAÏTO]

At least some people at MS / windows testers didn’t think it was a good idea, because on
Windows 7 at least (I suppose it’s the same on Vista and on Windows 10) these kind of
property dialogs get again an entry in the taskbar.

If you have many open windows, you can "lose" property windows and forget
they were open, then be confused when things don't work because there's a
property window open. Seems reason enough to show them in the taskbar.

Shouldn't ReactOS behavior be consistent with NT5(.2) by default?
NT6+ behavior should be unsupported/postponed or some kind of option, 
shouldn't it?

For compatibility reasons, sure. API functions should behave as in
win2003sp2, system folders should have win2003 names, and so on... unless
we have a compatibility profile enabled.
But this is purely a "look&feel" thing, there's no requirement that we
make
ros feel EXACTLY like win2003sp2.
