Make your xp genuine, ALTERNATE SOLUTION (works for XP SP3)

I’ve just tested this on Windows XP Professional SP3, v.3300 (Build #2600) so I’m pretty sure it’s good for ANY XP service packs.

1. Open notepad and paste the following code:





Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]

2. Save the *.txt file, and rename it "Filename.reg".

3. Run it. (Or right click, and select "Add to registry").
