For information on how to compile and install the ReactOS Explorer please look at the FAQ web page: http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/ Desktop Example --------------- This program doesn't do much, apart from create a window which could be used as a desktop. It's pretty straightforward. It creates a window the size of the screen, displays some text in the corner, and then disables ALT+F4. Ideally, this would be incorporated into some other part of ReactOS, where it could be closed in a controlled manner (ie, when the user wishes to exit the GUI.) Hope someone finds it of some use. I think it should run before the explorer clone (taskbar) to get the wallpaper displayed (since when explorer crashes on Windows, the wallpaper is always displayed, and there is always a desktop, even with no icons, when the login window is shown.) It obviously is in need of some improvement, such as wallpaper actually being drawn (stretch, center/centre and tile...) So, feel free to play around with it.

Its very simple at this point and just loads a window with buttons. The loading of this module was based on a patch by Martin Fuchs. Steven Edwards Steven_Ed4153@yahoo.com
