This build is the third developer release of Windows ME. It is referenced in "The Road to Gold: The development of Windows Me" at Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows. [http://winsupersite.com/article/windows-95/the-road-to-gold-the-development-of-windows-me-127380] According to Thurrott, it did not introduce any significant changes over DR1 and DR2. This build was apparently released on the week after DR2 was released. This leads to the estimation of DR3's release date as being anywhere from 8th to 14th August 1999. There are three screenshots that could be of this build, but as the screenshots have no build information, this cannot be confirmed.

Features

  • Activity Centers: Help Center, Photo Center, Music Center, Start page.[3] For Activity Centers to work, add a value called MilExtraDirs to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion. Then, re-register webvw.dll. The Activity Centers intend to use the Trebuchet MS, Franklin Gothic Heavy, and Franklin Gothic Book fonts, but end up falling back because they are not installed with the build.[4]
  • Windows Neptune: Two files with product name "Microsoft(R) Neptune (TM) Operating System" version 5.50.5048.1[1]
  • Out-of-Box Experience[5]
  • System Restore and System File Protection: Enable by going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\_VxDMon and change SystemRestore and/or SystemFileProtection from N to Y,[4] then reboot. According to Twitter user Albacore (@thebookisclosed), the System Restore user interface resembles Activity Centers with its striped sidebar and rounded corners.[6]
