Windows XP LSD 3.7 is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 edition, which was created by Team LSD. It released on August 7, 2007, and was added to the archive on August 14, 2022. Windows XP LSD 3.5 was added to the archive on December 31, 2023.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO, with RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack 1.1.1 (ELupdatePACK Fr edition). It comes with a new Windows Vista-style theme, new programs, wallpapers and drivers. It comes with registry tweaks.

During setup, a command prompt window will open which will provide you with choices to do many things, such as apply optimizations for the Pentium 4 HT processor, install a new font and wallpaper set and configure the user information.

The autorun has been replaced with a HTA document. The loader executable for the autorun is just the Microsoft HTA loader, but renamed.

It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite.

Notes

Bootleg quirks

• Due to the poorly done kernel modification to add the custom boot screen, SP3 cannot be installed unless the original ntoskrnl file is restored.
• You can access the WinLSD website through the WinLSD program group in All Programs. You can also disable select services through its own subfolder, if you wish.
• The built-in games have been removed, including Solitaire. For shame!
• The HOSTS file now uses a list generated by Spybot Search and Destroy.
• The Command Prompt is colored yellow by default.

• The CD has its own custom icon.
