How can I not register my windows?

[inuyashafly]

I'm pretty sure there is a way but, I figure someone could tell me so I dont need to spend hours figuring it out, right?

I'm sure there's more you're not telling us; but you never have to register. That's optional. You do need to Activate in order to keep XP fully patched, and working after 30 days.

I meant activate. I read that little article or whatever in "nice try ms" but i dont want to activate my windows and I dont want to spend soo long finding it myself.

You don't have to. It'd remind you everyday! If you bought your comp from OEM such as from Dell, HP, you don't need to activate since it's been done from its manufacturer (and that's why you wouldn't see it pop up the reminder to activate).

crack it or buy the corporate version of windows

im sick of activating when i reinstall every month or so with diffrent hardware.

google windows xp activation crack or something, just beware even if you own a legit copy/serial it might detect it as a fake/pirated copy (like mine, but i down update i get autopatcher xp to do that all at once).

Or you could actually just BUY a legitimate copy of windows!
