Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO. It adds one theme, and many wallpapers. It updates the icons, and UI a bit. It comes with its own autorun, which is a one-to-one replica of the regular Windows XP setup, only with a different UI and some changed links here and there. It is unattended, and preactivated.

The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.1, and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 7.1.1000.0.
