[ros-kernel] Re: Desktop

[Phillip S. <ps...@cf...>]

Yes, I think winlogon creates the windowstation and desktops, but the 
desktop 'window' isn't really a window any more than the idle and system 
processes are really processes.  That is to say, the desktop 'window' is 
hand crafted and implemented by win32k.sys.  Iirc, if you use spy++ to look 
up the desktop window, it does not belong to any process, nor does it have 
a wndproc.
