The 50 Best Registry Hacks that Make Windows Better. Lowell Heddings @lowellheddings Updated July 11, 2017. Most long-time geeks will remember that there was a hack for Windows XP, and probably already know that the same hack works in Windows 7 or Vista as well. You can use a registry hack to force Windows to skip this dialog altogether. How to ACTIVATE Windows XP without any software!! Posted on April 14, 2009 by jimmy2362 This is a simple but effective registry hack that has been tried and tested several times by me and it works!!

I was able to fix this problem by starting the PC in safe mode with command prompt. I then typed 'explorer' into the command prompt to load Windows. Next I clicked on 'Start' - 'Run' and in the 'Run' box I typed
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. This extended my activation to 30 days. Even though this extended my activation period, I was still unable to get the activation program to start up.

I fixed that by going into 'regedit' and searching for the 'wpaevents' folder. I then changed the permissions to include 'User' for 'Full control'. I also went to my c: drive and changed the permissions to include 'User', 'Administrator', and 'System' for 'Full control'. I rebooted the machine and then was able to run Windows activation.

I got all my info from:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/55233-45-msoobe
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-security/this-copy-of-windows-must-be-activated-before-you/387f3367-5fc4-4aa1-937d-6788a626029d

6 Steps total

Step 1: Start the PC into Safe mode with command prompt

Power on the PC and press F8 right before Windows begins to load. Select 'Safe mode with command prompt'

Step 2: Run Explorer from the Command prompt to start Windows

Once the Command prompt loads, type in 'explorer' to start Windows within Safe mode.

Step 3: Run 'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk' from the 'Run' box.

Now click on 'Start' and in the 'Run' box type
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. Press Enter. This will re-set activation to 30 days

Step 4: Modify the wpaevents folder in the Registry.

Once more, click on 'Start' then go to the 'Run' box and type in 'Regedit'. Make sure that in Regedit you are highlighting 'My Computer' at the very top. Now go up to 'Edit' then 'Find' and type in 'wpaevents' then press Enter. Right click on the 'wpaevents' folder and go down to 'Permissions'. Highlight 'User' and place a check mark in the box labeled 'full control'. Click 'Apply' and exit regedit.

Step 5: Modify the C: drives permissions.

Now double click 'My Computer'. Right click the C: drive and go down to 'Properties'. Now click on the 'Security' tab and modify 'User', 'Administrator', and 'System' so that they all have 'Full control'. Click 'Apply' and reboot the PC.

Step 6: Run Windows activation

Activate Windows Xp Regedit

Now Windows activation will run and the PC will become usable again.

This How-to is intended to assist in recovering a PC from a faulty repair install. It is not a tutorial on bypassing / extending the Windows activation grace period. I don't condone piracy, but I also don't believe in locking a user from their data with faulty control mechanisms.

    Aaarrgh. I was so hopeful, because this post added the permissions steps, but when I do as described, the login after saying 'yes' to activation just shows the wallpaper forever

    [Update] I left the PC on the wallpaper, no Explorer, no icons all night long and discovered the PC must've logged-off or rebooted during the night. When I logged-on this next time, the expected Windows Activation screen greeted me and I was able to successfully activate!

    I used this method, and still get the wallpaper screen forever. I am working to recover an old computer which has had it's ethernet controller fail, as well as the internal wi-fi. I have attached a USB wi-fi adapter, and run the installation software in safemode. When I reboot, I still get the 'This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate Windows now?' Right back to the wallpaper.

    This is the result of a Windows Repair, XP Home Edition SP3 Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111

    I have verified with Microsoft that the software is a legal copy, but they want $180 to talk me through validation.

    Thanks for any further suggestions
