Mail+Calendar (and People) Apps: https://archive.org/details/mail-and-calendar

Use this to Bypass the new Outlook app entirely: https://github.com/matej137/OutlookRemover

How to restore People app to start menu, desktop, or taskbar: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-launch-the-people-app-in-windows-11/41811940-4ec3-44fe-9792-ad24929cbd51

I found a pretty good archive of at least almost all versions of Snip & Sketch (the precursor to the modern snipping tool, I would obviously put this under windows 10): https://archive.org/download/snip-and-sketch

and I found a link for 3D Builder: https://archive.org/download/microsoft-3d-builder-for-win10 (I would put this under either 8 or 10)

OneNote for Windows 10: https://archive.org/details/microsoft.-office.-one-note-16001.14326.21386.0-neutral-8wekyb-3d-8bbwe.-appx-bundle (I think this link should suffice)

Another new IE thing: http://makememodern.rf.gd/index.html (this supposedly makes IE more modern or something, maybe it'd be more fitting in the other list?)

Metro/Modern IE for Windows 10 Technical Preview: https://winaero.com/get-modern-internet-explorer-back-in-windows-10/

Office 2010-2019 All In One: https://archive.org/details/microsoft-office-2010-2019-aio (Product Keys Not Included)

Office 95-2003 All In One: https://archive.org/details/Microsoft_Office_All-in-One_DVD_Homemade_2003_Eng 

Windows Live Essentials 2009: https://archive.org/details/WLE2009Multi (good for Escargot WLM 2009) (Under Vista/7)

Windows Live Essentials 2011: https://archive.org/details/WLE2011Multi (Under Vista/7)

Windows Live Essentials 2012: https://archive.org/details/WLE2012Multi (better link since this one is multilanguage)

Windows Media Player 10: https://archive.org/details/WMP10Multi (I didn’t see wmp 10 anywhere on this list, however if there was then this one is prob better since it’s multilanguage)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Replaced Mail+Calendar and 3D Builder links with superior Archive.org links which also have older versions included too

EDIT 2: VARIOUS New Findings

i was able to update the list earlier (evidence is the "a" sitting at the top of the list), however when i tried to add all the links previously sent it refused to go through. this is confusing and frustrating and i'm so sorry for the inconvenience!!

Found some more cool Office Links:

https://archive.org/details/microsoft-office-2010-b1-4302

https://archive.org/details/sadfasdf_202408


I'd recommend at least keeping the 2010 technical preview, I suppose under Vista/7

after further testing it appears the updating bug only applies when i try to add links like this, if this issue goes on into summer i'll likely close the forum. for now i could likely just add the raw links like this: https://bsky.app/profile/griffen2.bsky.social however it would be a formatting nightmare. thank you for your patience!!

I mean you could create a new list for themes and whatnot and copy and paste things from this or you could merge it with first list(?) nah I think merging contents of themes to Revival Services could make a whole mess



I would just like to request some things that if you are going to make a new list for themes that you should consider :)

removing WindowBlinds (this whole software is just crapware like I remember that it was heavily resource intensive most of applications would not theme correctly like Firefox or chromeand also that full screen apps like Roblox wouldn't even full screen or exit out or even full screen!)

Windows eXPerience Hotfix 1 it's the latest version of windows eXPerience and other versions are considered according to travis projects discord server outdated

Windows Vibranihorn RC 2.1 I mean it could be cold a good ISO but it has so much insecurities and why does this still uses dwmblurglass?! damn they should switch to openglass already!

Library Header For Windows 8+ post now says "No." also I guess you could remove this and also this isn't alternative to oldnewExplorer because this is just a Windows 7 feature called "Library Header" that appeared in libraries when you use Windows 7 and this was ported to win8+ so it isn't a alternative!

ProjectBlue is based on Windows 10 22H2 and do we all know that Windows 10 is ending support so this is so it's completely useless after Windows 10 end of support?

Metro 10 v2 can stay as is based on windows 10 ltsc iot.

eXPeriencefox theme requires an outdated version of Firefox (Firefox 109) and I think it's broken on any latest version of Firefox and forks (???)

rinfox I remember it doesn't work on newest version of Firefox so it's also outdated


Redmond-Firefox it's now archived

things to add:

reliveTeam website (polish 10tox windows iso's)

https://github.com/PaologGithub/Project_NewSpartan

https://thedoggybrad.github.io/Paint3DArchive/

https://gitgud.io/catpswin56/vistathemeplasma/

trinitydesktop.org


things from haydengriz:

Mail+Calendar (and People) Apps: https://archive.org/details/mail-and-calendar

Use this to Bypass the new Outlook app entirely: https://github.com/matej137/OutlookRemover

How
to restore People app to start menu, desktop, or

I
found a pretty good archive of at least almost all versions of Snip

(I think this link should suffice)

Another new IE
thing: http://makememodern.rf.gd/index.html (this supposedly makes IE
more modern or something, maybe it'd be more fitting in the other list?)
  I think it's a scam because it says error 403 "HEY! YOU AREN'T GOING NOWHERE! The page you attempted to access is heavily
restricted. Tip of advice: Don't do that. Error code: 403"

Metro/Modern IE for Windows 10 Technical Preview: https://winaero.com/get-modern-internet-explorer-back-in-windows-10/  I don't think this works on Modern Windows 10

Office 2010-2019 All In One: https://archive.org/details/microsoft-office-2010-2019-aio (Product Keys Not Included)

Office 95-2003 All In One: https://archive.org/details/Microsoft_Office_All-in-One_DVD_Homemade_2003_Eng 

Windows Live Essentials 2009: https://archive.org/details/WLE2009Multi (good for Escargot WLM 2009) (Under Vista/7)

Windows Live Essentials 2011: https://archive.org/details/WLE2011Multi (Under Vista/7)

Windows Live Essentials 2012: https://archive.org/details/WLE2012Multi (better link since this one is multilanguage)

Windows Media Player 10: https://archive.org/details/WMP10Multi (I didn’t see wmp 10 anywhere on this list, however if there was then this one is prob better since it’s multilanguage)

Groove Music: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EAs-pL_Z0LIFT1TktjMG5MmvHj7dtoCy/view

Paint 3D: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ylSw1pvV-PPZ5pFYY5F8EGwStwPNdPUc/view

Oh also here's a much better way of getting IE back on Windows 10/11: https://github.com/LesFerch/LaunchIE

I don't know if you'll accept this but I found a really nifty cracked
version of Office 2007: https://archive.org/details/Office2007AllInOne
(Which I would put under Vista/7 obv)

Thanks for the recognition ginger, although I talked to the creator of make me modern and they don’t seem very shady, in case you’re interested, here’s their youtube: https://youtube.com/@gravitycoil828?si=ur-8EswZd-ymwoyu

the metro/modern ie thing I can understand though (since yes, it no longer works)

Also some more things I would found: https://archive.org/details/windows-7-downloadable-regional-themes

https://archive.org/details/windows7theme-zune

https://www.deviantart.com/nc3studios08/art/Windows-7-Characters-Theme-for-Windows-10-803674162

also your Paint3D link is much superior to mine, I'd put that on the list instead

(To Griffen, if you don’t want any more links, suggestions, or comments just say the word)

to Ginger1234: i've considered merging it with the first list before, making an entirely new list, hosting my list on neocities, closing the forum or just turning the now useless yt2009 list into the second list, i'd like to hear anything back from spacehey first before i decide to do any of these (it's been about a month now since i sent them a support email and i still haven't received a response)

to haydengriz: feel free to keep sending links, when/if the issue gets resolved i'll spend an hour adding and removing stuff

things to add:

I didn’t want to really post this since you already had a method linked and that this is paid but I found something that installs Windows Mail way easier than the method on your list currently: https://www.winmail10.com/#welcome


Though again as mentioned before this is paid


Edit: it also installs windows calendar and windows contacts (windows contacts just opens the already existing folder though 🤷‍♂️)

That's amazing! can't wait to see most of my submissions on this list! (especially the windows 10 ones, the windows 10 list could definitely use it)


Here's another program I've found (Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003): https://archive.org/details/microsoft-office-word-viewer-2003-with-service-pack-3-english

Edit: I can't believe I forgot about this but initially I was trying to upload a link for Windows Media Player 11 and I confused it with 10 lol


Anyway here's a link:

No problem! I don’t see some of my other office links which is fine, I found ones that would be easier to put under the categories though:

Office 2010 All in One: https://archive.org/details/en_office_2010_sp2_with_updates_7268.5000_x64_v21.04.12_by_adguard/1.png

Office 2016 (not an all in one iso but a collection): https://archive.org/details/Office-2016-Collection


I’m trying to find something for Office 2013 and Office 2019 (whether it’s a collection or an all in one iso)

This is all I’ve found for now (in terms of office)

Office 2013 Professional Plus: https://archive.org/details/microsoft-office-professional-plus-2013 (idk if the download works) 

Office 2019 Pro Plus: https://archive.org/details/microsoft-office-2019-pro-plus-16.0.10325.20118-64-bit (idk if the download works)

I did find two links for Office 2003:

Office 2003 All in One: https://archive.org/details/Office2003AllInOne

Office 2003 #2: https://archive.org/details/en_microsoft_office_2003

I assume the first 2003 link is better but I included the second one in case the first doesn’t work or if the second one is better.

I should of posted this earlier:

https://archive.org/details/wlsetup-all_20210326 - Windows Live Suite 2008 (Wave 2)

https://archive.org/details/windows-live-photo-gallery - Windows Live Photo Gallery 2008 (Wave 2)

First link has the installer which installs Photo Gallery 2008, Mail 2008, Family Safety 2008, the Toolbar, Desktop Search, and Writer 2008

Second link just contains photo gallery, I think this would be good to include since there are users who will find restoring the Vista Photo Gallery difficult and the live version is much easier and works better (but still keep the vista photo gallery link)

Also do you think this is good enough to add to the list?: https://winclassic.net/thread/2406/windows-space-on-modern

It’s an incomplete method on how to restore Windows Meeting Space on later versions, all it really contains is theoretical solutions and ideas, someone may post something new to the discussion and the guy who made the vista photo gallery restoration said he might try to restore Meeting space one day

added Windows Live Suite 2008, didn't add the photo gallery since it's the same one that's included in the whole suite. Also didn't add the meeting space link as I don't think adding theoretically functional links is for the best (I could see linking to it just to have it on your computer, however I decided not to include it anyways), if anything ever changes and it becomes usable please let me know and I'll add it ASAP. thanks for sending!
