Delay XP SP2 after April 12th?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

We have implemented the reg script that keeps machines from downloading or
installing XP SP2 until after April 12th from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/p [...] umng.mspx.
Does anyone know of a way to extend this date to further out in the year?
We have mission critical Java browser-based apps that break under SP2 and
the vendor will fix them for a significant price. Any way to change the
"DoNotAllowXPSP2" to a different date?

Ron - I downloaded the latest Java on Tuesday 1/4 to see if there were any
updates that would help. The problem is that the program can return
thousands of records from a database query and it uses a Java applet to
scroll the pages. After XP SP2 we cannot scroll anymore and just get "error
on page" in the bottom status bar. There's something about SP2 and Java
that doesn't play well together.
