Windows XP Fire 2011 5.0 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Bassem Galal. It released on July 5, 2011, and was originally added to the archive on December 12, 2021. Because this version was faulty (it had been tampered with, the boot sector was replaced and some files were slightly altered), it was replaced with a proper one on April 28, 2023.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It is styled after Windows 7, comes with quite a few programs, plenty of themes and wallpapers, and a few other things. It comes with a WIHU preloaded with programs. It comes with registry tweaks.
A batch script called Bassem.bat handles installation of the new customizations and features this bootleg offers, and also runs the WIHU.
One of the programs (BM Radio) was made by the bootleg author.

It comes with its own autorun. Through it, you can 'install the OS' (it just pops up a message telling you you need to restart the computer to actually install it), view a README file which includes details about this mod, along with a list of what nLite modifications have been done on the distribution, and also a list of the new features this mod has.
It is unattended and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite, and the boot selector used was EasyBoot. The autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 8.0.
Changes from Windows XP SP3

Notes
WIHU quirks
- Firefox Portable will attempt to extract itself to "D:\Firefox Portable" (you can't change where it's extracting to). This will not work if there is a CD drive with that drive letter.
- Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger will not work because the WIHU config expects them to be in the system32 folder when it should actually be in C:\Windows\BASSEM.

- The CD has a new icon.
- The CD label is "Windows.XP.Fire.2011".
