Re: Original Microsoft OpenSource Windows parts

ESE is not the search engine itself. The search engine is based on the ESE. And ESE is a database-library. And have a look at this comment in the phoronix forum. It seems, that is is a often used library. It is similar to the IE and the trident engine. You could say, that you only used the IE to dow...

Why does the installation ends up as Administrator? After the installation, it is possible to create a new user.

- Builtin modules in PE format. Thats the nice popint. Now the clock.exe and some other programs and libraries running direct on Windows and ReactOS.
