Microsoft Windows XP Screenshots

You may want to download these pictures to your computer as they do not always display properly in a web browser window. The pictures are in the JPEG and PNG formats.

File sizes are all under 600 KB.

Themes

Three Windows XP themes come with Windows XP: Default, Olive Green, and Silver.  Windows XP can also be run in Classic
mode where windows look like they did in Windows 2000.   The Start Menu can also be run in either XP or Classic mode.
In the Classic window mode you can apply desktop themes and change colors like in previous versions of Windows.

Windows XP Command prompt
   Note:  Programs that support (or are) MS-DOS or Windows 3.1-compatible programs do not support the new XP user interface.
The command prompt program is an XP program but does not use the new interface since it is MS-DOS compatible.   This new
version (cmd.exe) does support long filenames.  The old MS-DOS prompt (command.com) is also available, and it does not
support long file names.   There is no longer a MS-DOS mode.
