Windows 1992 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by MaddieMJD. It released in 2019, and was added to the archive on January 18, 2022.

Description

The OS is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO with DriverPack integrated. The OS has been almost entirely themed after Windows 3.1 (and some of Windows NT 3.1). The name comes from the year Windows 3.1 was released (in 1992) and Windows 2000.

The OS now launches an (empty) Program Manager from Windows NT 3.51, and applies a Windows 3.1-like theme to the OS. It also adds a few popular games from the Windows 3.1 era.

A new utility called Shell Configuration has been added, that allows you to switch between Program Manager and Windows Explorer as your main shell.

Other than a Windows 3.1 theme and the included Windows 3.1 apps, not much has been changed from XP itself. The ISO was made using nLite.
