'''Windows AlphaBetas Build 905''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 2000|Windows 2000 SP4]] edition, which was created by ddrmaxromance of Troy's Work. It released to OSBetaArchive on September 27, 2005, and was added to the archive on December 5, 2022.
== Description ==
== Changes from Windows 2000 SP4 ==
* New branding on the autorun, Setup background, Winver banner and in a few other places
* New boot graphics. The boot screen has been edited to have a green and black progress bar with the author's branding on it. The logo is changed to a Windows Neptune style logo, and a Watercolor-themed window is added, with nine of the major Windows betas and releases with their corresponding Windows default shell icons
* New login graphics. Login banner is changed
* New icon set. The "My Computer" and "Network Neighborhood" icons have been changed. The start menu icons have been changed to their original icons from different angles in various background colors.
* Nearly every sound has been removed from the system. There have been some new sounds added though, like the Windows 95 startup sound which is the default startup sound, and a low quality version of the Windows NT 5.0 beta startup sound which is the logon sound
== Notes ==
* When the Setup is copying files, two files (ir50_32.dll (Intel Indeo 5.0 32-bit codec) and winver.exe) will "fail" to install. You can skip them just fine, it won't actually affect the installation. Both files can be restored with the Intel Indeo 5.0 installer and by copying a clean copy from a regular Windows 2000 CD (is it on the mod's ISO?) respectively.
* The icon for "My Computer" in this build has been taken from [https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_95_build_189 Windows 95 build 189].▼
* The start button has no text and uses the 16 color Windows XP start button icon, making the taskbar resemble that of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_CE_5.0 Windows CE 5.0].
* The taskbar is unlocked by default, and the Quick Launch toolbar is shown with nothing in it.
* The shortcut arrow is now a big gray arrow pointing to the top right.
* The Windows directory is titled "WINABCS" instead of the
* The Documents and Settings directory has been renamed to "Users".
* There are some additional images in the Extras folder.
