Windows XP Validation Flaw


Good afternoon,

Well, it didn't take long for the much awaited Windows Validation tool to be
rendered useless.

For all of those who have, ahem, pre-loaded Windows XP on their system, the
new Windows Validation tool was supposed to prevent "non-authorised" copies
of XP from receiving updates.

Well, the Validation tool can be de-activated very easily.

1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Click on Tools then Internet Tools
3) Click on Programs
4) Click on Manage Add-Ins
5) Highlight the Windows Validation Tool add-in and click disable
6) Close Internet Explorer and re-open it

That's it! - you can now receive your updates.

Why did Microsoft make this so easy?

Just thought you should know this.

Kind regards

Paul Durkin
