- Transform TryToStartShell() into a StartProcess() function whose aim
is just to start processes, since there is no extra initialization needed
for starting a shell process.
- Modify StartInstaller() to call StartProcess() for starting the ReactOS GUI
installer found on the installation media, from a path automatically expanded
depending on the ambient CPU architecture.

- Flush the new control set after the control set has been created.
- Make sure that we create a new control set only on the first boot after setup.
- Move the control set copy code to a separate function.
- Get rid of the global control set values.
Also comment about the observed behaviour of the returned number of "characters"
returned by the ANSI versions of these APIs (which is tested by advapi32_winetest:service).
[ADVAPI32:SCM] Add a comment concerning wide characters vs. bytes mismatch.
- Encrypt passwords before passing them to the service manager. Right now, we are using a fixed encryption key. This will be fixed later.
- Replace the calls to ZeroMemory which are used to wipe the password buffers by calls to SecureZeroMemory.
This avoids keeping connections open and reopening them as soon
as the user reopens their session.
This fixes network shared being duplicated each time session
is reopened.
CORE-15012
as documented in "Advanced Windows NT" by Jeffrey M. Richter (Microsoft Press),
and in https://is.muni.cz/el/1433/jaro2010/PB167/um/cv5/undocumented_CreateProcess.pdf .
[INCLUDE][SERVICES][WIN32K:NTUSER] Add an undocumented STARTF_INHERITDESKTOP flag
for the STARTUPINFO::dwFlags structure member, whose purpose is to tell Win32k
that the created handles to the window station and desktop to which the
process is connecting to, can be inherited by its child processes.
It is used when starting interactive services.
Observed via API monitoring on Windows 2003.
The PROCESS_DEVICEMAP_INFORMATION union has 2 fields, one is a handle, the other one is a structure of 36 bytes (independent of architecture). The handle forces 64 bit alignment on 64 bit builds, making the structure 4 bytes bigger than on 32 bit builds. The site is checked in NtQueryInformationProcess (case ProcessDeviceMap). The expected size on x64 is the size of the Query structure without alignment. autocheck correctly passes the site of the Query union member, while smss passes the full size of PROCESS_DEVICEMAP_INFORMATION. Packing the structure is not an option, since it is defined in public headers without packing. Using the original headers sizeof(PROCESS_DEVICEMAP_INFORMATION) is 0x28, sizeof(PROCESS_DEVICEMAP_INFORMATION::Query) is 0x24.
- Add support for the following command-line arguments: /k, /p (and a little bit
of /r), and add support for checking a particular volume.
A description of these arguments can be found at:

- Slightly improve some messages.
- Get rid of legacy OpenDirectory() and simplify GetFileSystem().
This effectively removes the temporary hacks introduced in r73486 (a35a785b)
and in r73487 (0ce031f7) for the LocalService and NetworkService accounts.
Now these accounts (and their corresponding user profiles) are created
on the fly, the first time a service that needs these is started.
The code introduced in r73501 (ade0d2cd) is now re-enabled: this has
been made possible thanks to commit f42b4bbe (thanks Eric!).
Dedicated to Joachim Henze ;-)
