Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO. Not much is changed in this bootleg, aside from a few wallpapers and programs here and there, a lot of it is stock and unchanged.

The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.8, and the boot selector used was EasyBoot v5.0.

Changes from Windows XP SP2

  • The CD now boots into a simple selection screen with the horse picture on it
  • 12 new wallpapers included
  • New default theme, and wallpaper. It also has its own icon set
  • The Matrix screensaver is included
  • New sound scheme. The startup and shutdown sounds are replaced with chanting, and the Hardware Insert sound is now the Ring In sound.
  • The autorun graphics has had its hue altered
  • Some of the system icons have been replaced with their Longhorn variants

Software

  • Adobe Flash Player 10
  • Mozilla Firefox 16
  • WinRAR 4.11 (cracked, registered to storm xp sp3 se)

Notes

  • 20 unused wallpapers in Thumbs.db. From what could be gathered from these unused wallpapers, there are mostly duplicates, but there could also be high quality versions of the original wallpapers.
  • 3 duplicate wallpapers in the default theme's Thumbs.db.
  • The root of the C: drive now has a custom background.
  • There are several unused bootable disk images in the EZBOOT directory, where the EasyBoot configuration is stored. Most notably, there are duplicate MS-DOS boot disks, and an image straight up just sitting there without rhyme or reason.
