Windows Tweak!

So, Its not something everybody here needs to do.. :).. But its something helpful for people who occasionally get their computer into a problem and have to format their computers just to end up with the mind-boggling Microsoft WPA (Windows Product Activation).

What is WPA?
Windows Product Activation (WPA) is the mandatory product registration system included in Microsoft's Windows XP, Office XP, and recent Office products (such as Word 2002 or Excel 2002) as a means of enforcing compliance with the company's End User License Agreement. Essentially a copy protection system, product activation creates an association between each copy of a product and the computer it is installed on, so that the software cannot be copied to other, unauthorized machines.

So now you know what is does mean.. Now get a look of it.

So here you see, how crappy does it look. Haha.. Hmm... back to work. My main purpose here is to give you small tutorial, which will help you outta this horrible situation of 30 days trial usage of Windows! Yea. Read me right, babe! It's 30 days product trial. I found a way to get outta it. Voo hooo..! Yo...!

So heres a step-wise tutorial.


1. Go to "Run" in Start Menu. (Windows key + R)
2. Key in "regedit". Press Enter .
3. From the long list of keys on the left, select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and browse to SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents.
4. On the left, you can see a string value named "OOBETimer"
5. Now, You have to be quick enough to fool windows outta this. So, whatever the strings value is, double click on it and replace it with this "FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD" Now no copying thing allowed here. So you have to be quick enough to see it here and type it there exactly.
5. Once done. Right click on "WPAEvents" and select "Permissions" Click on "SYSTEM" and check every box under "Deny"
6. Click on "Advance Settings". Now below in the box, uncheck "Inhereit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here" and click on "COPY" in the pop-up box.
7. Now, in the "Advance Settings" box. Search for "SYSTEM" line, highlight it and click on "Edit"
8. Change all options to "Deny"
9. Click "OK" , "Apply" ... whatever you can see except "Cancel" and Reboot.
10. Enjoy! You have Activated your Windows!

PS - I don't intend to indulge you in an unlawful activity. This article is solely for educational purposes and to teach you how to make most out of you Windows! If you intend to further use your computer. Go and Buy an Orignal Copy of Windows.

Thought Of Manipulation

Manipulation. According to Microsoft Encarta Dictionaries

1. handle numbers: to work with data on a computer
2. control somebody or something: to control or influence somebody or something in an ingenious or devious way
3. falsify something: to change or present something in a way that is false but personally advantageous

So, Now you know in what all context my blog deals with "manipulation." Ha Ha.

You must be wondering why "manipulation." Now, to clear out some facts. I have a manipulated (3) life and I use every opportunity very well in most of the cases. There are still some exceptions when I fail to manipulate (2) my surrounding. As I wrote in my previous post, I am a computer freak and that somehow means I am a manipulator (1) and I am somewhat good at my math as well.. :P.. Lolz..!

After reading manipulation in the 1st context, you must be thinking that a fake, false or whatever you may call (wow... that rhymes.. ) person is not a good human being. Hmm... But its solely for the purpose of success. No offenses its not to slight someone and not even in a discourteous or crude way. Well.. This is all for my second post. Ill come back tomorrow this time something technical. You know computer, what else. A quick trick to tweak you sneaky villainous Windows!
