[encoded] i need my Netgear R7000 router to go into VPN and block all the ads

[encoded] i was told reactos does this

[ula] u cant block normie-advertising facebook

[ula] ipv6 overbloats every hostfsile

[mjansen] Mysoft: reactos has working shims, and quite some testcases that document them

[Mysoft] i will look into that

[Mysoft] it will give me a broader view of how they work then

[mjansen] Andthere is quite some documentation about them

[CatButts] hai guise

[CatButts] guess what I got running in POSReady 2009/XP in place of original component

OwO

What CatButts

Halo 4?

XD

[CatButts] http://cat.rearend.org:3434/priv/ok_but_kinda_borken.png

[CatButts] explorer.exe shell

[CatButts] it works, but it suffers in places

What's an explorer.exe shell?

[CatButts] the thing you see before you

[CatButts] that gives the taskbar and desktop icons

[CatButts] would my feedback from running ReactOS shell on XP windows be of any use?

[CatButts] I got tired of bblean's multidesktop crud

[gigaherz] not sure

[CatButts] me neither

[CatButts] :p

[gigaherz] our shell is meant for 2003-level OS, so it uses some functions that were created in 2003, and deprecated in 2003

[CatButts] well, it's not complaining of missing IAT entries

[CatButts] didn't check dynamic loading

[gigaherz] what I mean is, we don't really care if it fails in XP, if the same code is working in 2003

[CatButts] ah, point taken

[gigaherz] unless that same failure/crash could also affect our compatibility with other apps

[CatButts] so my ramblings, little use

[gigaherz] then in that case it might have some interesting data in it :P

[CatButts] Hiding innactive icons is unavailable

[CatButts] right click context menus from systray icons not vanishing on click elsewhere

[CatButts] sandboxie icon has decided it wants to be icon of another application

[CatButts] :p

[gigaherz] that last one is a known issue

[gigaherz] I spent too many hours trying to figure out why it happens, and I came out blank

[CatButts] on the bright side, I have all shutdown options available, even under RDP, compared to standard explorer

[gigaherz] it's obviously a bug in the tray code

[gigaherz] just couldn't figure out where or how.

[CatButts] that shutdown thing may be a POSReady 2009 "feature"

[CatButts] I hate it when programs assume what I want and fail :p

[gigaherz] no idea, I never used RDP or POSReady :P

[gigaherz] but well... if you are using an edition called POS-Ready

[gigaherz] it seems perfectly acceptable that it assumes you are a POS (and not in the insulting sense :P)

[CatButts] yes, I heard that joke many a times

[CatButts] I should rephrase above

[CatButts] I hate it when programs (innacurately) assume what I don't want

[CatButts] well, what else can I muck around with?

[CatButts] I see a 'filebrowser.exe'

[CatButts] it starts up, takes RAM, does nothing, no window

[gigaherz] that's a small program that opens explorer windows without a taskbar or desktop or anything

[CatButts] ah

[gigaherz] it may only work with rshell.dll next to it

[CatButts] how does that work? pass parameters to explorer.exe?

[gigaherz] no

[CatButts] aha

[CatButts] digs inside cabinet

[gigaherz] it uses the shell32/browseui/etc exports

[CatButts] I am not seeing rshell.dll in the cab

[gigaherz] maybe we don't include it in normal builds

[CatButts] I am using nightly

[CatButts] which is debug

[CatButts] oh hmm

[gigaherz] yeah but it may not be added to the isos, I mean

[CatButts] ah

[gigaherz] it is compiled if you build yourself

[gigaherz] <output>\base\shell\rshell

[CatButts] nah, too damned lazy for that :p

[gigaherz] and copies fo

[gigaherz] <output>\base\shell\explorer and <output>\base\shell\filebrowser for easy debugging

[gigaherz] to*

[gigaherz] copied*

[CatButts] oh, here's another interesting quirk

[CatButts] some tray icons(which have mouseover tooltip) will flash their tooltip
