Windows 1992 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by MaddieMJD. The initial version originally released on August 23, 2019. The latest version of this bootleg (which is the only version in the archive) was released on January 23, 2020. It was added to the archive on January 18, 2022.

Description

The OS is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, with DriverPack version 12.09, OnePiece IE8 Update Pack 7.4.0 and WindowsXP Post-SP3 Update Pack (QFE) 20131112 integrated. The OS has been almost entirely themed after Windows 3.1 (and some of Windows NT 3.1). The name comes from the year Windows 3.1 was released (in 1992) and Windows 2000.

The OS now launches an (empty) Program Manager from Windows NT 3.51, and applies a Windows 3.1-like theme to the OS. It also adds a few popular games from the Windows 3.1 era.

A new utility called Shell Configuration has been added, that allows you to switch between Program Manager and Windows Explorer as your main shell.

Other than a Windows 3.1 theme and the included Windows 3.1 apps, not much has been changed from XP itself.

It is unattended, and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.3 on Windows 8 (or higher).

Changes from Windows XP SP3

  • The setup engine is changed to use the Windows 2000 one
  • New boot graphics. The boot screen has been changed to an edited version of the splash screen from Windows 3.1, with "3.1" replaced with "1992"
  • New login graphics. The logo has been changed to match Windows 1992
  • New default theme. 4 new themes (or rather, just ports of the Windows 3.1 color schemes) are included
  • New default wallpaper. The background color is a light shade of gray, the same one used in Windows 3.1
  • All of the Windows 3.1 wallpapers are included
  • New icon set. Many icons have been replaced with Windows 3.1 versions
  • The system font has been changed to the "System" font, to mimic Windows 3.1
  • Winver.exe has been replaced with the Windows 3.1 version - but modified to say "Windows 1992", "Windows XP Mod Made by MaddieMJD"

Software

  • WinFile (also known as Windows File Manager), Calendar, Cardfile, and Clock ripped from Windows NT 3.51
  • uMenu16 (or microMenu16/μMenu16) 1.0
  • Shell Configuration

Games

  • SkiFree, Chip's Challenge, and Tetris from Microsoft Entertainment Pack Volumes 3 and 1 respectively (or the Best Of release, where all three games reside)

Notes

  • The only thing changed in the autorun (which is stock, no new autorun is included), is the OS strings. They now say "Windows 1992", instead of "Windows XP".
  • The full name and organization is set to "User" and "Windows 1992".
  • The computer name is set to "WIN1992".
  • The workgroup name is set to "WORKGROUP".
