It was introduced in commit 703eb5e8c9 (r7756) in order to hack around
the "dot"-path added in the reactos.dff generator file by the earlier
commit 3bd689f185 (r7269).
Its aim was to describe the installation directory itself, instead of
one of its sub-directories.
That _invalid_ "dot"-path was removed later by commit 027e2bfa3a (r15423);
however the '\.' hack stayed for quite a while in our code.
The correct way to describe the installation directory itself is to use
instead "\", compatible with Windows' setup, as was originally done in
txtsetup.sif, and fixed in reactos.dff(.in) in commit 97bb83fcd9 (r66604).
ID_HELP_HELPTOPICS & ID_HELP_ABOUT are statusbar helptexts, and they do exist
twice for no good reason since 10+ years. Dedupe that.
Also add a few missing accelerators for it-IT.rc
Also strip the trailing dots for some languages for the statusbar helptexts (5 langs: ja-JP,tr-TR,zh-*)
Vast majority of languages did not have them at all (24 languages).
Also en-US was such a good role-model.
Some had it just for some of those texts, but for others not (e.g. pt-PT). Inconsistent.
All statusbar helptexts are within those exact 3 STRINGTABLEs now.
- POPUP() is used on DBG only.
- SND_ERR() and SND_ASSERT() are wanted even when defined(NDEBUG).
- Add a FIXME as !defined(NDEBUG) code compilation remains broken.
Follow-up of c7a4984 (0.4.15-dev-8414).
A small change before PR #5705 was merged caused a severe downgrade in the snap/unsnap handling. Win key handling should work correctly now.

Implement Favorites bar.
JIRA issue: CORE-19686
- Introduce CNSCBand class to commonize
some code of CFavBand and CExplorerBand
classes.
- Implement Favorites bar.
- Fix IBandNavigate and INamespaceProxy
interfaces.
Support for system batteries in ReactOS is really minimal to the point of non-existing. We are detecting the presence of any upcoming battery but since there's lacking in critical code that deals with communication
between PO and the battery class driver as the battery systray icon uses GetSystemPowerStatus to gather battery info which in turn inquires the power manager via NtPowerInformation(SystemBatteryState), we have
to report to the user that the remaining capacity is unknown rather than returning a pseudo capacity value.
Technically this so called "pesudo" value is just a construct denoted as BATTERY_PERCENTAGE_UNKNOWN. Not reporting the actual remaining capacity makes sense, as there could be a scenario where the battery may not
properly report its real datum, therefore it's best to be honest to the user what's really going on.

The variadic DisplayMessage(V) helpers display a message box, where
both the title and message can be specified either as explicit strings
or via resource IDs. It also supports the message to be a printf-like
format string, in which case the additional formatting arguments are
subsequently specified.
It will be used to determine how the bootloader has to be installed, etc.
Currently hardcoded for XBOX, or rnutime-determined for NEC PC-98 and BIOS-based PC-AT.
More thorough runtime determination will be added in the future.
At first QueryStatus call, output is written to Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer.
Unfortunately, this is also the BattWait buffer.
At return of QueryStatus call, BattWait buffer has been modified, so
following code can't use it anymore.
Fix memory overwrite by copying BattWait buffer on the stack.
Fixes many Window Snap related bugs and uses the WS_EX2_VERTICALLYMAXIMIZED* styles to remember which edge it is snapped to.
The most significant change is that GetWindowPlacement lies about the normal position when it is snapped, just like Windows.
