Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3, with SATA-RAID drivers integrated.

Although it comes with many programs and 9 themes/21 visual styles, you have to install them manually. There is also Windows Seven Effects, which contains many customization utilities, along with the ability to make the icon size larger or smaller, and even set any of the included tools to run at startup. It all gets dropped to the root of Documents and Settings. It is preactivated.

The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.8 on Windows XP SP3. The ISO was made on September 13, 2009 @ 19:05:37.

Notes

Bootleg quirks

  • Most of the themes in the themes.rar file are in multiple subdirectories, and therefore are a bit more cumbersome to sort through, especially the fact that the theme files point to files in different directories, making them getting to work a hassle.
  • The "MX" theme won't work because the icons go to invalid paths. The majority of the reason the themes don't apply is because of (most of the time it's) invalid entries/nonexistent files, because their directories got all mislabeled.
  • The "Final" screenshots were taken with every program/theme installed. Everything was installed using default settings, nothing was modified. The specific customization utilities used were based on the All_Run.reg file, which specified 4 customization utilities to be run. The icon size has been made larger, though. The OEM branding/Support Information is NOT from the bootleg - it came from Seven Remix XP.
  • Quite a few shortcuts have been added to My Computer.
  • The nLite version in WINNT.SIF is actually a remnant from earlier development, the final release was made on nLite 1.4.8.

CD contents and other info

  • The CD label is set to "WinLite", the default CD label nLite uses.
