Windows 2000 build 1965

Windows 2000 build 1965 is a Beta 3 build of Windows 2000, which was found on 23 June 2015.

This build was distributed by an anonymous member of the warez scene as a set of installation files sometime in early 1999 and was mistakenly distributed with the build number of 1978 (according to the NFO and the naming of the installation files).

New features and changes

 * The shell has seen an update, with new branding and a new Active Desktop wallpaper. However, the old NT 5.0 branding is still present in a few places, like the bootloader and the "Logon Screensaver".
 * Some icons are updated as with build 1964, including the Recycle Bin.
 * The "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel applet has the option "Configure Windows" renamed to "Add/Remove Windows Components". It is now very identical to the RTM.
