Hi Jan

ROS Explorer being far from finished doesn't seem like a valid reason
to 
start from scratch again. There's no reason you can't write an 
alternative, but I do think that you should first consider furthering

ROS Explorer. Another plus for ROS Explorer is that it's written in
C++ 
and can be compiled with MingW. A Delphi shell will not easily be 
included with the ReactOS distribution - but perhaps that's not what
you 
want anyway. These are not reasons not to begin work on your file 
manager - just things to be aware of before you begin.

The webpage for ROS Explorer is here:
http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/

The source code is in the ReactOS source under:
reactos\subsys\system\explorer

Cheers
Jason
