It's funny, I used to think MS tried too hard to put every feature under
the sun in
their OS, but after reading discussions like this, I realize the conundrum
they were
in.
I suggest we build several explorers, the explorer shell should have the
SDI approach
with an optional directroy tree pane, a winfile style shell with an MDI
interface, and
a filezilla shell with a tab interface. Then we let the users decide which
shell they like.

last week ;-) But that's the only point.
To attract more users we have to present them more features/functionality/
usability than Microsoft.
Actually, I have to speak up and disagree with this. One of the main
reasons I would love to move to ReactOS is to get rid of all that stuff. Let's use
preprocessor directives (e.g. #ifndef _LEAN_EXPLORER) to disable
extended functionality in explorer. This way we can maintain one codebase
to create
Ick. In my experience preprocessor directives result in code that falls
apart. _______________________________________________
