== Description ==
The OS is mostly stock Windows XP SP3 (although it has DriverPack integrated), except it is now modeled after [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 3.x|Windows 3.1]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_3.1 Windows NT 3.1]. The name comes from the year Windows 3.1 was released (in 1992) and [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 2000|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 Windows 3.1.
Other than those changes, not much has been changed from XP itself. The ISO was made using nLite.
== Changes from Windows XP SP3 ==
* The setup engine is changed to use the Windows 2000 one
* Program Manager will always run on boot, but it is not set as the default shell for some weird reason
* The system font has been changed to the "System" font, to mimic Windows 3.1
* The default wallpaper is a light shade of gray
* The boot screen has been changed to an edited version of the splash screen from Windows 3.1, with "3.1" replaced with "1992"
* 4 new themes (or rather, just ports of Windows 3.1 color schemes) are included
* All of the Windows 3.1 wallpapers are included
* A new utility called Shell Configuration has been added, that allows you to switch between Program Manager and Windows Explorer as your main shell
== Programs ==
* SkiFree, Chip's Challenge, and Tetris from Microsoft Entertainment Pack Volumes 3 and 1 respectively (or the Best Of release, where all three games reside)
* WinFile (also known as Windows File Manager), Calendar, Cardfile, and Clock ripped straight from Windows NT 3.51
* uMenu16 (or microMenu16/μMenu16) 1.0
* Shell Configuration
