Windows 2000 build 1989

Windows 2000 build 1989 is a beta 3 build of Windows 2000, which was uploaded to BetaArchive FTP on 1 September 2015.

Changes

 * The  banner was changed to be identical to the RTM, albeit without the blue bar located beneath it. It was later added in build 2068.
 * The Control Panel is now properly sorted from A-Z and now looks just like the RTM. This also means that shortcuts to folders are no longer placed before applets.
 * The message shown when the graphical stage of setup is starting has been shortened from "Starting the Windows 2000 Setup Wizard..." to just "Please wait..."
 * The design of the common controls in 16 colors has been reverted to what is seen before build 1946.
 * This build removes Windows NT Diagnostics apart from its executable file,, which turned into a stub and now redirects to System Information instead.

Installation

 * Booting from the CD might result in a bugcheck.
 * When upgrading from build 1983, an error might occur during the network setup. If this happens, restart the computer and go through the user information portion of setup again.
