Notes

Remarks

  • The bootloader in the ISO of this bootleg was broken, and for the sake of convenience, the Windows XP bootdisk has been integrated into the image in order to make it bootable, thus why the "-bootfix" prefix in the file name is present. This is not the proper version of this ISO. Everything else is untouched, however.

Bootleg quirks

  • The taskbar is unlocked.

CD contents and other info

  • The autorun has been removed.
  • "winXP_logo_horiz_sm.gif" from the CD is missing, but its HTM file where it's used still remains.
  • The CD label is set to "SHADOW LITE SP3".

WINNT.SIF metadata

  • The Internet Explorer title is set to "Internet explorer proporcionado por GP".
  • The Internet Explorer search page and assistant is set to Google. A bunch of search engines are also included too.
