Compatibility modes for older applications targeting specific Windows operating systems were also added and are now activated out-of-box. This feature allows users to run older programs by selecting an earlier version of Windows that the program previously ran on, tricking them into assuming they are running under that version. Compatibility modes can be set for a program through its properties or by launching the Program Compatibility Wizard located in the [[Help and Support Center]]. | Compatibility modes for older applications targeting specific Windows operating systems were also added and are now activated out-of-box.

This feature was previously in [[Windows 2000]] [[Windows 2000 build 2195.2951|Service Pack 2]], being backported late into Windows XP's development. In addition to modes for Windows 2000 and Me, display settings for running applications under 256 colors, 640x480 resolution, and disabling visual themes were added in. | |||
