## AI overview

ReactOS Newsletter 46 reports progress on shell folder extensions, including new Font and Administrative Tools folders, fixes to the Recycle Bin and Printer folder, ongoing context-menu work, and fixes for crashes caused by terminated kernel worker threads.

## Source excerpt

Shellfolder Extensions All of the special folders such as control panel, printer folder, and administrative tools are actually shellfolder extensions that the Explorer shell implements using IShellFolder. Johannes Anderwald has been implementing those still missing in ReactOS as well as extending and fixing others. Two new ones are the Font folder and the Administrative Tools folder. Johannes also implemented the dialog for formating drives, but this obviously isn't functional. The Recycle Bin was also fixed with help from Hervé Poussineau, as previously several issues in Trash_CanTrashFile prevented files from being moved there.
