[ros-kernel] Second stage (GUI) setup

Hi!

The second stage setup (aka GUI setup) starts doing something useful. It
creates the 'Documents and Settings' directory and its 'Default User' and
'All Users' subdirectories plus some more user-specific directories, like
'Start Menu', 'Favorites', 'Recent' and so on.

You can run the second stage setup either by running 'setup -newsetup' or by
changing hivesys.inf.

In the latter case, change the line

  HKLM,"SYSTEM\Setup","SetupType",0x00010001,0x00000000

to

  HKLM,"SYSTEM\Setup","SetupType",0x00010001,0x00000001

and install ReactOS (from CD or by 'make install'). When you boot ReactOS,
winlogon.exe will start 'setup -newsetup'. Setup will initialize the
'Documents and Settings' directory and pop-up a message box and terminate as
soon as you click 'OK'. Finally, winlogon.exe will set the 'SetupType' value
back to 0 (zero) and shut ReactOS down.

After another reboot, ReactOS start-up normally.


Regards,
Eric
