Windows XP Desktop EngineAn embeddable XP desktop for React

A React component that renders a faithful Windows XP desktop. Drop it in, replace the files and apps with your own content, and listen to events or control it from code.

Your content as data

Swap the whole file system, add culture packages and custom apps, or run it as a Markdown blog (with RSS/sitemap/permalinks). Describe content with data instead of writing React code.

Listen & control

Every user action emits a typed event; a React ref opens apps, writes files, and saves or loads the whole desktop as JSON.

Embed anywhere

One `WindowsXP` component, isolated storage per instance, works with Next.js and other SSR frameworks, and individual UI primitives can be imported separately.
