Notes

Remarks

• At least more than one bootleg has a theme named after this bootleg (most of the time, it's "Windows AnGeLive"). The reason for this is because this bootleg has a modified ThemeUI.dll, where the default Windows XP theme string has been changed to "Windows AnGeLive". Many, many bootleggers have taken part in borrowing assets from other bootlegs including this one for their own purposes, and therefore because of that, there are many bootlegs which have Luna themes named after this bootleg.

CD contents and other info

• The ISO has been stuffed with excessively large 2GB ".ICO" files all over, causing archivers to freak out. It has some bits of the WPI in there, though.
• The autorun is animated, and plays music. The song is located as "1.mp3" in "I386".

WPI

• "Internet Explorer 7", "Windows Messenger 8.5", "Windows Media Player 11" and "CPL Panel Bounes (sic) Pro" do not have command paths assigned to them, making them useless.
• "Mozilla Firefox" doesn't install properly.
• "Paint.NET 3.31" is supposed to be in "I386\SVCPACK", but it's in "ANGELPRO" (where all the included software is) itself. The batch script for Paint.NET references the installer in the SVCPACK directory.

WINNT.SIF metadata

• The full name and organization is set to "Windows AnGeL Live" and "MaHmOuD".
• The computer name is set to "ANGEL".
• The workgroup is set to "LAN".
