Re: HOSTS file improvement
Ummm. It's just occurred to me that maybe we need to look at browsers rather than the Kernel? I wuz ronnnng!!!! :D It is in the Kernel! In the DNS client... So, what's the chances of having a hack to enable the use of wild-cards? OK, this is probably not the easiest hack around, and certainly we ne...

Re: Sidebar in file explorer
Ummm... Something like this? Windows 7 Classic Desktop. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfz0svgfzs15odk/WExplorer.png?dl=1 But yes, for the Out-of-the-Box experience, this would be nice. Unfortunately, the screen-shot cannot capture the drop-down menu :( so youse don't get to see the gory details: in &quo...

Re: NoDrives registry entry...
G'day nsh - Well, I learn something every day!!! In all my searching, the NoViewOnDrive key never surfaced at all. Anyway, thanks for that, I've just done it to all User accounts from Admin. Now let's see if it sticks... As I said, it seems that making a drive into a pagefile makes it a system disk/...

Re: HOSTS file improvement
...it should be implemented in a manner like Unix shadow password file... I would not be happy with any solution which involves checking multiple files. The HOSTS file was meant to be a fast local redirect for problematic human-readable host names, which to me seems to be at odds with cumbersome fi...

HOSTS file improvement
Like many who regularly use the HOSTS file, it's an important security device as much as a DNS by-pass for important sites. With this in mind, is there any way the HOSTS file management could include processing of wild-cards? OK, I know this could be a smoothly paved downhill highway to perdition as...

Re: Read this if you've found software useful to ReactOS
Because lots of people post software on the forum that might be useful to include with the ReactOS base installation, I've made a question chart to make sure only useful programs get suggested. Ready? Go! http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8835/reactosprojectinclusionwa5.png Hope this clears everyt...

Re: Idea for ReactOS about WinRot
Side by side assembly. In ReactOS, you'll notice a winsxs folder inside the reactos folder. This is there to prevent dll hell. A long time ago, I was using W98, and I had a program called Arachnophilia by Paul Lutus, a web page development workshop. And Paul had a few gripes, one of which was DLL H...

Re: Ptlease Stop cuttinornters.
The cutt nornter has made a lasting favourable impression on me :) I've just finished (?) learning how to work with VMs, and a debug as well, and to my surprise and absolute delight the installer asked me if it could visit some place not on my box and organise freight, delivery and installation of t...

Lotus SmartSuite installs in bootcd-63897-dbg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OKAY, there are still problems, graphics are iffy, and the installer put FastSite when I told it not to...

Re: Office Suite? Lotus SmartSuite!
Open a Jira bug report. Done. ROSTESTS-139 - Lotus Smartsuite Install crashes ReactOS in VirtualBox I did do a second attempt, still using Setup.exe as the MSI installer doesn't work. This second attempt was a slim-line install, and got as far as writing the registry entries before it hung. I'm com...
