Notes

Bootleg quirks

The TrueTransparency skin "Live Xp Super 8" doesn't work, because its theme files are in its own subfolder, when it should be moved back to its parent folder.
All of the TrueTransparency skins, along with the OS themes all have a "Live Xp Super" prefix. This is also the case in Fares Elahlam's other bootlegs. The stock TrueTransparency skins also have been prefixed, and grandfathered in.
The included 5 games are contained in the "Games" program group in All Users.
There is a program on the desktop named "كنز الغرائب.exe" (A Treasure Trove of Curiosities; rough translation), which is a VB6 program which contains a collection of interesting facts and trivia.

CD contents and other info

There is a "Cover And Serial" folder on the CD. It contains a self-made CD cover, and a serial key text file. It is not the same one as the one specified in WINNT.SIF.
The CD has its own icon.

WINNT.SIF metadata

The full name and organization is set to "Windows Live Xp Super V.1" and "Rao3aa.Com" respectively.
The computer name is set to "LIVE_XP_SUPER".
The workgroup name is set to "Fares Elahlam ( Houssien Mahmoud )".
