    Description

      I tried to get rid of fontext.dll, to workaround the regressions CORE-17671 & CORE-17311

      Reproduction steps

      • rename fontext.dll to fontext.dll.foo
      • reboot
      • check whether you can browse the font folder via explorer "as normal FS folder"

      Expected result
      2k3sp2 afterwards shows the folder as regular FS folder 2k3sp2_rename_ok.webm

      Observed result
      ros can not browse the fonts folder at all anymore in filebrowser
      reactos-bootcd-0.4.14-dev-77-gd9e7c48-x86-gcc-lin-dbg_rename_BROKEN.webm
      reactos-bootcd-0.4.14-dev-77-gd9e7c48-x86-gcc-lin-dbg_rename_BROKEN.log

      Sidenote
      I even tried to execute "regsvr32 /u fontext.dll" in ros as an alternative approach, but that led to the same result of the fonts-folder not being browsable at all anymore
