Ideas : Support the "Desktop pattern" fonctionnality #5

Windows NT 3.x (and Windows 3.x) included a Control Panel applet for configuring the desktop, which seemed closely tied to the Program Manager. Most of the settings are still configurable today in other ways, and often more precisely, but the desktop patterns setting is no longer supported. I don't know if it's possible to bring him back, but it would be great.

This functionality was included in NT 4.0, and if I remember correctly, 2000. Not sure exactly what implemented it, may have to dig through NT/2k source to get an answer. I may have to include an updated CPL for managing Program Manager in an easy way and when I can create my own CPL files I may try to bring this back as well.
