Description mslama 2003-10-16 13:08:19 UTC 
It is not necessary to reset folder attributes. It
is possible ignore them before they are passed to
ordering method.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2003-10-30 08:39:21 UTC 
The reviewers think that the whole purpose of Windows2 and
Windows2Local separation would be in vain if the Windows2 folder was
not kept read only. That is why they explicitly request to:

- do not write ordering attributes to it
- do not write topComponent.settings file to it

and of course do not write anything else. The first problem should be
addressable by better usage of Utilities.topologicalSort and by
providing some kind of filtered Map into it that would virtually mask
the attributes instead of removing them. The second problem could be
addressed by copying the description of topComponent from the Windows2
to Windows2Local directory prior creation of InstanceDataObject and of
course (in future) by using registry and not relying on
InstanceDataObject at all.
Comment 2 mslama 2003-11-04 16:51:11 UTC 
Fixed in winsys branch. Both folder attributes and TopComponent's
settings files are not set/saved in module folder Windows2.
