Just a little heads up for anyone using some older applications with PS4 + 
Rollup 1 or Rollup 2 (I have found that PS4 unpatched isn't affected).

Been doing some migration testing and found two of our older applications don't 
like newer versions of mmhook.dll at all.
The applications fail seamlessly but running the app full screen / fixed screen 
size ..... the applications work fine. 
The weird thing is that only certain builds of our windows 2000 Pro / Embedded 
XPe and XP Pro clients are affected.

Lotus Notes 5.012 launches but freezes after keying in the password. 
Project 2000 SR1 crashes just after launching.
I know the apps are old but they still have to be used in our environment.

The Article that I found that was used to correct the issue was CTX107825.

For example to correct Project 2000 and Notes 5.012:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\CtxHook]
"ExcludedImageNames"="winproj.exe,nlnotes.exe,notes.exe" 

Haven't got round to testing seamless apps with Longhorn yet ... i wonder how 
that will perform.
