Windows XP build 2211

Windows XP build 2211 is an early build of Windows XP, which was leaked on 20 March 2000. The build refers to itself as "Whistler Windows 2001 Professional", which is possibly a name combination of "Whistler Professional" and "Windows 2001 Professional", though it could be an formatting error.

New features and changes

 * Control Panel and some parts of Windows Explorer have gained updates to resemble that of Windows Me.
 * An early version of the category view for Control Panel is included, showing only the most used options. The final version of Windows XP would include the applets within the categories.
 * A new Control Panel applet called Hot Pluggable Devices is added, meant to make users safely eject removable devices like USB devices.
 * Microsoft Management Console has been updated to version 1.2, however it contains a WordArt startup banner that states version 2.0. To open it, navigate to.
 * The Help Center from pre-release builds of Windows Me has been ported to this build.
 * This build introduces the Automated System Recovery. This process creates a floppy disk with setup files and performs regular backup of the Windows and Program Files directories. The user can press F5 at the Automated System Recovery prompt during setup to allow setup to recover the Windows installation.

Neptune login screen
This build contains a user friendly login screen, which is unchanged from Neptune build 5111. To enable it, change the value of  DWORD in   to 1. While functional, the shutdown button only relaunches the login screen unless Shift is held down.

ClickLock
This build is the first to introduce ClickLock. To enable it, change  in   so that   now reads. After that, log off and log back on again.

Bugs and quirks

 * Sometimes, when powering the machine off, the system will either:
 * 1) Bugcheck with the error code  and will restart the machine instead of powering it off.
 * 2) Hang on.

Upgrade

 * On some machines, upgrading to this build from build 2202 is impossible as the text mode portion of setup locks the system up when the message  is displayed.

Drivers

 * Some audio drivers may cause audio to be severely distorted.
