How To Never Activate Windows Again

Post by **alien100** » 07 Feb 2007, 18:21

If you have to reinstall Windows XP you normally will have to reactivate it like call them or whatever.
Well not anymore. Just copy wpa.dbl after you activated the first time. It is located in the WINDOWS\system32 folder. Now if you reinstall Windows XP just copy the file back to the WINDOWS\system32 folder and you're up and running again.
If u cant find it just search it
Oh and make sure its backed up to a cd or something and there shouldn't be any hardware changes

Yeah I stopped using all anti-virus and anti-spyware simply because it seemed to be link to most of my system crashes. That and me just messing with stuff.

Would be useful, especially for me, however, pity it doesn't work on Vista (The file doesn't exist, it wont even find any .dbl files if I search)
