To make things short, I want to alter the Reactos library that deals with
ACL in Windows, and use it in place of the corresponding microsoft windows
library.

I somehow lost rights to folders in my start menu. In the Windows GUI,
I become owner, but then get "access denied" when I try to give myself
full control. This, and many other ACL (Access Control Lists, in NTFS)
annoyances I deal with, makes me desire to disable ACL altogether.
I have used SetACL successfully, but to be honest, ACL is not something
I want to learn or deal with. It is only an annoyance along the way to
getting things done. Many go up in arms over this because of "security"
concerns. I have been without security for a very long time without
issues. Perhaps I am lucky, but really, I don't have that much to lose
anyway.
I make unattended windows installations, and have thought to use a
modified library with the help of DSEO
http://www.ngohq.com/?page=dseo
Would the library be ntfs.sys?

Hello!
I downloaded ReactOS-0.3.15-REL-vbox.zip from the site and ran it in
VirtualBox 4.2.16 in Windows Server 2008 R2.
See my report with 4 problems I experienced. Three of them are
serious. Hope this message will help you improve ReactOS.
== Problem 1 ==
Menu Machine->Add failed with "Failed to open "C:/Program
Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"".
So I went to ReactOS.vbox and removed these lines:
<DVDImages>
<Image uuid="{38b58d16-ded5-4c11-997d-66b88780fbb1}"
location="C:/Users/Z98/workspace/reactos/ReactOS-BootCD.iso"/>
<Image uuid="{39d01696-2de6-4272-8bc8-0cc8836273ca}"
location="C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"/>
</DVDImages>
(I didn't have either path on my computer.)
After that I managed to add the machine.
== Problem 2 ==
The first boot failed with blue screen 0x1E (0xC0000005,,).
Going to Settings and disabling the USB controller fixed this. I could
finally boot into the system.
== Problem 3 ==
I did Start->Reboot in the start menu a number of times. About half
the times boot failed with blue screens 0x1E (0x80000003,,) or 0x7E
(0x80000003,,).
== Problem 4 ==
After shutting down and powering the machine on boot process failed
with blue screen 0x44 a couple of times
I saved screenshots of those BSODs. Will send them if you are
interested. (And I hope you are.)
I have been following the ReactOS project for some time, and am very
interested in how the project comes along.
I have read extensively on the goals of ReactOS, what it is, what it
isn't, what has been done, what remains to be done, etc.
I am only nominally competent at programming, and have little to no
experience with C/C++, as I have a medically-diagnosed phobia of
pointers, but I am pretty good at bug triage.
Let me know how I may be of service, and I'll do what I can.
The ReactOS project is proud to announce the release of version 0.3.15. A culmination of over a year of development, 0.3.15 incorporates several architectural enhancements to create a more compatible and conformant implementation of the NT architecture. Perhaps the most user visible enhancement is initial support for USB devices, both storage and input.
Infrastructure wise, this is the first release of ReactOS using CMake instead of rbuild. The conversion to CMake has allowed developers to generate Visual Studio solutions for working on the code, though several C++ components still need work before support for Microsoft's toolchain is complete.
The importance of 0.3.15 is not just its release but what it promises. Feedback from testers helping with finalizing the release provided a host of data that developers used to fix a wide range of issues. It is often said that each release should be better than its predecessors. 0.3.15 certainly fulfills that criteria but also promises much better for the future.
Some highlights of this release are as follows
* Preliminary support for USB mice, keyboard, and storage devices.
* A rewritten session management subsystem
* ARM3 has taken over all memory management responsibilities except for sections.
* AHCI support with updated UniATA driver
* Preliminary support for debugging ReactOS components using windbg
* Improvements based off results from the AutoHotKey application functionality test suite
* Bugfixes based off running Driver Verifier on several bundled drivers
In addition to the packages traditionally provided by the release, there is an additional image of a hybrid CD used at the LinuxTag expo to showcase ReactOS. This image incorporates some additional USB related fixes to allow for more robust initialization and detection of devices along with enabling of the Lautus theme by default. Please note that theme support is still incomplete and the use of Lautus in the LinuxTag hybrid CD was primarily for showcase purposes and is not yet ready for general use.

Hi,
due to critical load issues on reactos.org, the webserver has been taken
down now for an extra maintenance to address the issues.
Affected services are the following: reactos.org, doxygen.reactos.org
(still reachable but slow), jira.reactos.org (no auth), code.reactos.org
(no auth).
We cannot provide any ETA for the end of the maintenance.
We are sorry for the caused inconveniences.
With my best regards,

Hi,
My name's Luis, I'm from Brazil and I've been interested in ReactOS for a few years (though not actively participating in the project). This semester, I'm having Operating Systems subject in my university (I'm doing a major in Computer Science), and I've chosen to make a presentation about ReactOS.
Where can I get documentation about the following parts of the ReactOS system, and, most importantly, its differences to MS Windows?
* Process management (e.g. scaling algorithms)
* Memory management
* File systems (it uses FAT, right? But are there any differences to MS Windows)
* I/O device management
BTW, sorry for my poor English and writing skills. :)
Thanks in advance and kindest regards,
Luis Andrade
Dear translators,
please DO NOT SET the url redirection in your translated pages (unless
you was told so by Z98 or me).
I repeat, DO NOT SET it at all. DO NOT try to fix the url by doing so,
don't try to think you're smarter and can work around the different url
problem by setting the redirects. Drupal 7 is not smarter alas, and
doesn't detect circular references in all cases.
Thanks for understanding,
Aleksey Bragin
