Windows Me build 2452

Windows Me build 2452 is the official "Beta 2 Refresh" build of Windows Me.

Changes

 * The default color scheme has been updated to resemble the one used in Windows 2000. This includes changing the default desktop background from teal to blue.
 * This is the first build to have a reference to the final name "Windows Millennium Edition" in the first page of setup billboards.
 * Most of the Control Panel applets are updated.
 * Updated MSN Messenger to version 2.1.
 * Re-added the safe to shutdown screen from Windows 95 and 98.
 * Updated the Startup Disk version string from  to  . From this point onwards, the startup disk will be updated to match the system version.
 * Windows Media Pad is now named Windows Movie Maker and has been updated to build 1200.
 * This build's autorun again uses the background as seen in the one from Windows 95. Additionally, Millennium is written all-capitalized and in a serif font.

S3 drivers

 * Upon using S3 video adapters, Windows will complain that its own drivers will not work properly, thus the display will be stuck at 640x480 resolution and 16 colors mode. This error will also appear upon every boot and other drivers cannot be installed correctly, meaning that S3 video adapters are not recommended for this build.

Neptune reference
A total of eight files with the version number 5.50.5116.1 were found in this Millennium build, but it is unknown whether this Neptune build was ever compiled.

Some speculate this would've been a Milestone 2 build. The PE header of  claims that it was compiled on 19 January 2000, meaning it would be one of the last Neptune builds before the Neptune project was canceled later that month.
