Some clarification required in order to make it to the list:

53: ability to copy/download files directly to root
I presume you mean being able to download to the root of a hard drive, can you explain why this is such an important thing for you? You can of course already copy files to the root. With regard to downloads I have always created a specific folder for downloads and placed everything there.

54: ability to edit files in the "Program files" and "Program files (x86)" directories
I am unsure that this restriction won't also make it into ReactOS at some time but as it aims to replicate the functions of 2003 then it is unlikely to do so at the outset, so I'll add this one to the list if it isn't there already.

55: ANIMATED WALLPAPERS!
I don't think ReactOS will support animated wallpapers by default, do you mean just GIFs or animated PNGs?, I wouldn't imagine it is one of the dev's aims if it is new functionality. There are tools such as rainWallpaper that already adds that. It might work on ReactOS. If it is old functionality you want replicated then I'll add it to the list.

56: Never having to see "Artist", "Album", etc. in the "Arrange Icons By..." menu unless I specifically added them, and always being able to see "Type", "Size", and "Modified" unless I specifically removed them.
They will be there if they were there on 2003 but just as with 2003 you will be able to customise them and remove them if they are not wanted. I forget as to whether this functionality was present in 2003? It certainly is with Win 7. I won't add this unless you can clarify a specific issue where this still occurs even when you've asked it not to.

57: The "Open With..." menu remembering EVERY program that can open a file type
I think this is more of a request so I won't add it unless it is restoring older functionality lost, is that the case? - I think you should add it as a feature request to JIRA if you have specific functionality that is over and above what 2003 does already.

and also worth noting, - my posts' characterisctic given by you as well depicts you as a moderator quite qell. <3 Still, there is one interesting moment over there, - let me ask you where did you find forum rules violation in my comments in this thread? or there are no rules, it's just what you dislike at the moment? Or forum rules violation are when your personal toady gets pissed off because he was being pointed to his arrogance? So write out this in the rules and then scary me with your ban! because otherwise it's only your business - you and your "exteremely useful" suck-up. get it!
