[ros-kernel] Desktop Stuff

[Steven E. <Ste...@kn...>]

According to a security analysis of Windows NT the Desktop seems started
from Win32K.sys and managed from winlogon which then calls LSASS.EXE for the
Control-Alt-Delete login box.

WinLogon is the logon process. It is responsible for coordinating and
providing interfaces for interactive logon/logoff. Moreover, it manages the
Desktops. WinLogon registers itself with Win32, see below, during system
initialization as the logon process

Win32 makes Microsoft's 32-bit Windows API available to application
programs. In addition, it provides the graphical user interface and controls
all user input and output. Only two objects  are exported from this server:
WindowStation, i.e. user input/output system (mouse, keyboard and screen),
and a Desktop object.
