This reminds me of all the linux guys saying "why not just use and improve linux instead of writing your own". I say go ahead and have fun with it.

Hi Jan
ROS Explorer being far from finished doesn't seem like a valid reason to start from scratch again. There's no reason you can't write an alternative, but I do think that you should first consider furthering
ROS Explorer. Another plus for ROS Explorer is that it's written in C++ and can be compiled with MingW. A Delphi shell will not easily be included with the ReactOS distribution - but perhaps that's not what you want anyway. These are not reasons not to begin work on your file manager - just things to be aware of before you begin.
The webpage for ROS Explorer is here: http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/
The source code is in the ReactOS source under: reactos\subsys\system\explorer
