1billion days to activate windows

Hehehehehehehehehhe! I installed XP Home on a small 1.6gb HDD. Well i needed to activate it, I thought of an old trick to fake an activation on the original PC which had the XP Home installed. I went into the registry and edited a line of code in the OOBETIMER entry. I changed a line that said '24' to '23' and this was the result.

Thats enough days eh?

Damn, nice! I'll keep that in mind if I ever have to install Windows XP Home again.... of course I didn't run into that problem with XP Corporate

I think by now MS hates me. Well I personally think they have it coming to them if they feel they have to include such an idiotic "feature."

An easy way to not be bothered by activating windows is go to a machine with the XP Home or Pro (whichever you are trying to activate) go to system32 and and look for the file wpa.dbl , copy it to a flopp, and then go to the nonactivated computer, rename the existing wpa, wpa.new. and replace it with the one from the floppy. When you reboot, it will promt you to activate. It works without a problem and this is not a hack anyweyas. This has been perscribed by MS for Company SysAdmins.

Quick semi-related question...

XP Pro Corporate Edition: What exactly is corp. edition? Is it a version which can be installed and used legitimately on multiple computers like most corp. edition software? (and if so, how many?)




So there I was, in this creepy old hallway...
