- Add an experimental module called FileBrowser.exe. This program works standalone in windows xp and windows 2003 and opens a new file browser window in its own process. If our browseui.dll is in the same folder, filebrowser will use the implementation of our file browser in windows. That means that standalone it works only in xp and 2003 but with our own browseui it will work on all windows versions (but doesn't work on all for now). This can be used for both testing the implementation of our file browser in windows and as a host process for new file browser windows for explorer_new.exe + rshell.dll

- Commit a great experiment for explorer. Our explorer will try to load a library called rshell.dll which will provide an alternative implementation of some functions that are built in in windows shell. These functions are CStartMenu_Constructor, SHCreateDesktop, SHDesktopMessageLoop, WinList_Init and ShellDDEInit. Providing our own implementation for these functions will allow us to make it run in all windows versions up to windows 8 and also test the implementation of our own components that will be placed temporarily in rshell.dll while they are developed and debugged in windows.
