I don't know where the entry points to the APIs in question are in user
space, I'll leave that for someone else to address. I've replaced various
libraries for different purposes many times and it can work depending on
the library or application in question.

That being said, if you want to bypass a file system driver, I don't think
you want to try to use ReactOS ntfs implementation as a drop in replacement
as of yet, at least not if you care about your data integrity. Even if the
ReactOS team said they had a 100% functional implantation I'd be cautious
using on volume with data I cared about.

Thanks
Steven

To make things short, I want to alter the Reactos library that deals with
ACL in Windows, and use it in place of the corresponding microsoft windows
library.

I somehow lost rights to folders in my start menu. In the Windows GUI,
I become owner, but then get "access denied" when I try to give myself
full control. This, and many other ACL (Access Control Lists, in NTFS)
annoyances I deal with, makes me desire to disable ACL altogether.
I have used SetACL successfully, but to be honest, ACL is not something
I want to learn or deal with. It is only an annoyance along the way to
getting things done. Many go up in arms over this because of "security"
concerns. I have been without security for a very long time without
issues. Perhaps I am lucky, but really, I don't have that much to lose
anyway.
I make unattended windows installations, and have thought to use a
modified library with the help of DSEO
http://www.ngohq.com/?page=dseo
Would the library be ntfs.sys?

Generally yes, it depends on the library in question.

**
Can you use a ReactOS library to replace an existing library in

Windows?
