List of system files

List of system files tweaked by me

Here is a list of the files commonly replaced with my set of files, showing their standard locations (Main Folder) and whether or not must be copied to your backup folder.

Note: This list is taken from my system. Be aware that might be slight differences with your XP installation and/or version, mainly with the third-part .cpl files. Please use it only as reference.
