XP Tip of the Day #1a and #1b

Never re-activate after a new installation
If you have to reinstall Windows XP you normally will have to re-activate too. Well not anymore. Just copy wpa.dbl after you activated the first time. It is located in the system32 folder. Now if you reinstall Windows XP just copy the file back and you're up and running again.

I'll try to do these things regularly. Contact me on ICQ if you need some help or some of the programs these tips may mention.

ENJOY!

PS: I also have a bunch of PowerTools you may be interested in.
