: Hello all
: It is fast approaching the time when I will have to do a fresh
: reinstall of XP Pro.
: I found somewhere in my magazines that there are two files
: that can be copied and added to the fresh install so that the
: activation can be carried through for XP without contacting
: Microsoft again.
: Does anyone know if the same applies to Office Pro 2003 ?
: This would save all of the rigmarole of phoning Microsoft to
: re-activate.
: TIA

XP pro does not need activating. Only Xp home does. The file you are talking
about (for the benefit of others) are wpa.*, these need copying if you are
going to re install xp home , thats all.
