On ReactOS the window classes are stored all in a linked list in
W32PROCESS structure. Global and local classes are mixed here and
they're differenced by a per class 'BOOL Global' variable.
On Windows the window classes are stored in two lists in the W32THREAD
structure. One for local classes and the second for global classes. This
simpilifies the class handling code quite a bit and allows to remove the
process locking (since W32THREAD is per thread and we are sure we don't
access it from elsewhere at the same time). I don't understand the exect
details of this and so I haven't tried to implement it yet. ;-)

Would that be the in the TLS? If it is, probably is documented in win95 programming secrets from Matt Pietrik, I have a copy at home. I'll check it out tonight.
 
Regards
Waldo
