How to activate Windows XP

This one is very easy, just we need to play around with the registry editor.

1. Click on Run and type regedit, click enter
2. Look for “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion
3. Click on “WPAEvents” and search for OOBETimer, right click on it, and modify the value to ”FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD”, without the quotation marks, click on Ok.
4. Now select the wpaevents folder, and deny all the permissions.

Enjoy your genuine Windows XP again. Btw, I don’t support piracy, is just for people that like me, got an old laptop and the serial got scratched.

Engineering student, I like to enjoy my free time playing videogames and playing guitar, I love server administration. I enjoy testing different OS, but my best is on Linux and later OS X, and I'm not an stupid *BSD and Windows user, just im rusty. I also like reading books, listening music, traveling, and as you can see at this site, help people with problems that I can solve, enjoy. I'm also looking for an online job on UNIX system administration, so if you know about one, just comment here! ;)
