Bug 120 is actually a meta-bug because a GUI setup program consists of lots
of different sub-tasks.

My current goal is to make ReactOS User-aware. At least, the following
improvements are mandatory:

Syssetup.dll/userenv.dll:
- Create profile directories (partially done)
- Create and store a Computer-SID (under construction)
- Create and store Admin-SID (TODO)
- Create Admin-Account (TODO)
- Create Admin-Profile (TODO)

Winlogon.exe/userenv.dll:
- Retrieve Admin-SID and create Logon-Token (TODO)
- Load Admin-Profile (TODO)
- Set user-specific environment variables (TODO)
- Start shell (DONE)

Shell32.dll:
- SHGetSpecialFolderPath()/SHGetFolderPath() must be fixed to retrieve
folder loactions from the registry (TODO)

Creating desktop folders and shortcuts is yet another part of the story.

I think we should drop Bug #120 from the list of ReactOS 0.2.0 requirements
and defer it for 0.2.1.
