   8 Desktop Example
   9 ---------------
  10
  11 This program doesn't do much, apart from create a window which could be
  12 used as a desktop.
  13
  14 It's pretty straightforward. It creates a window the size of the screen,
  15 displays some text in the corner, and then disables ALT+F4.
  16
  17 Ideally, this would be incorporated into some other part of ReactOS, where
  18 it could be closed in a controlled manner (ie, when the user wishes to exit
  19 the GUI.)
  20
  21 Hope someone finds it of some use. I think it should run before the
  22 explorer clone (taskbar) to get the wallpaper displayed (since when
  23 explorer crashes on Windows, the wallpaper is always displayed, and there
  24 is always a desktop, even with no icons, when the login window is shown.)
  25
  26 It obviously is in need of some improvement, such as wallpaper actually
  27 being drawn (stretch, center/centre and tile...)
  28
  29 So, feel free to play around with it.

  35 Explorer Bar Example
  36 --------------------
  37
  38 I have merged in Alexander Ciobanu's Explorer bar code as a example starting
  39 for the start menu. Its very simple at this point and just loads a window with
  40 buttons.

  42 The loading of this module was based on a patch by Martin Fuchs.
