Windows XP Crazy Mouse (also known as Windows Crazy Mouse XP 2013) is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Mahmoud Gamal (full name: Mahmoud Gamal Abd Elati). It released on October 30, 2012, and was added to the archive on July 20, 2023. There is another bootleg which serves a similar purpose (as a matter of fact, it uses assets from this bootleg) made by the same person, which came out 8 months after this bootleg did. It has more effort put into it, with more programs added. Other people have also used assets from this bootleg, such as Windows Al-Mohtaref and Windows Fouda XP 2012.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It comes with a boot selector. Through it, you can access useful utilities like Partition Magic 8.0 Build 1242 (mislabeled as Partition Magic 8.5), Norton Ghost 2003 (cracked, registered to lk of bap) and a DOS shell (a Windows 98 boot disk).

There are 9 different "mini bootlegs" bundled, along with 9 more which are packed with extra programs. You can choose to install the regular bootleg, along with the extra programs if you wish.

The "mini bootlegs" all serve various purposes, such as "Arabic Screen" being an Arabic version of English Windows XP (which is done by automatically applying the Arabic language on startup), and "Crystal" being Windows XP, with the CrystalXP.net theme applied onto it. Most of them have many consistencies between them, such as always changing the text-mode setup OS text, and changing the full name and organization.

It comes with its own autorun. Through it, you can access things like .NET Framework 2 and 4, and install the included programs.

It comes with one theme and wallpaper, and changed up graphics slightly. It comes with registry tweaks. It is unattended, and preactivated.

The ISO was made using nLite, the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio, and the boot selector used was EasyBoot 6.0.

Notes

"Windows XP Arabic Screen" automatically applies the Arabic language on startup.
"Windows XP Crystal" has the same boot screen as the stock bootleg.
Both "Windows XP Vista Live", "Windows XP Vista Ultimate" and "Windows XP 7 Ultimate" have the Windows Vista boot screen applied to it. The former's Run dialog has been modified to have the Windows 7 look. The font is corrupted, though. Both Windows XP Vista Live and Vista Ultimate have ViStart's start menu edited to have two new links added to it.
"Windows XP Vista Ultimate" has the setup modified to look like Windows Vista's. It has had 2 new themes added (3 of them being duplicates).
"Windows XP 8 Devolper (sic) Preview"'s setup graphics is literally just 7 Ultimate's, but with a different setup background.
The computer name is "CZM".
The full name and organization is set to "Windows Crazy Mouse" and "Mahmoud Gamal" respectively.
The CD has its own icon.
