== Changes from Windows XP build 2531 ==
=== Look and feel ===
* New default wallpaper. The default wallpaper has been changed from the default blue Windows XP wallpaper to a colored version of the painting "Reptiles" by M. C. Escher
* 23 new wallpapers included
 
== Notes ==
=== Bootleg quirks ===
* The setup routine has been changed slightly. A program called AutoExNT is used to then execute a script named "firstrun.js", which will do a lot of the changes you will see in the OS. The most notable are:
# An entire elaborate setup (involving arcane registry wizardry) solely to remove the timebomb
# Unregistering 2 essential activation DLLs
* Funnily enough, it doesn't clean up after itself properly. A lot of the helper utilities it uses are still present and are never removed.
 
* There is another bootleg of Windows XP with similar changes to this one, called [https://blueosmuseum.com/whistler/xp-2485-2486-2494-2495-2498-2499.php build 2495]. It was presumably made by the same author.
* The Guest account, among others, is now disabled by default.
* Command Prompt has had its default black and white color scheme replaced with a white and blue color scheme. The text has been made larger.
* You will get a file copy error on the files "ds16gt.dLL" (sic), and "odbc16gt.dll". Neither of those files exist on the CD, even though it is specified in <code>TXTSETUP.SIF</code>.
* Thanks to the several scripts in place, the timebomb and activation has been removed, so you do not need to change the date.
 
=== Remarks ===
* There is another bootleg of Windows XP with similar changes to this one, called [https://blueosmuseum.com/whistler/xp-2485-2486-2494-2495-2498-2499.php build 2495]. It was presumably made by the same author.
