Notes

Remarks

The "sysdm.cpl" in the "Regular sysdm.cpl" screenshot was sourced from a legitimate Windows XP ISO. Other than the full name and organization, no other notable changes were present, as it is stock.

Bootleg quirks

The "Beautiful waterfall" theme doesn't work because its icons go to nonexistent paths (in this case, it expects it to be in the Desktop directory of the user "XP 10"), and its cursors go to nonexistent paths (it expects it to be from the theme "Windows SEVEN"). To fix the icons, simply change each icon path ending before the filename to %WinDir%Resources\Themes\Beautiful waterfall\ico\.
The "ChelseaII" theme has an extra wallpaper that is unused. The "Hand" cursor path has the path to the cursor folder, but doesn't specify a filename, and the "IBeam" cursor path where the filename is supposed to be is just "{IBeam}". Both of the aforementioned cursors do not exist in the actual cursor set.
The "Ironman by VXD" theme has 2 other cursor sets included that don't get used. The theme was also downloaded from a Vietnamese website.
The "Ismailawy 02" theme's visual style path is for a theme named "Original The Last 02", which does not exist. To fix it, simply change Original The Last 02 to Ismailawy 02.
The "Naruto C" theme is supposed to have its own startup and shutdown sounds, but the folder where the sounds are don't exist.
The "UbuntuCZM" theme was sourced from Windows XP Crazy Mouse in case it wasn't obvious.
The "VistaXP" theme was sourced from Windows XP Crazy Mouse, because its original theme file is in the VistaXP folder.
