Does Any one know how to get around the Microsoft Validation Tools once they have been installed?

Question

I cannot go into the Manage-Ad On's and turn it off, this feature is disable because of the wide spread Internet fix. I have shut down the validation notice when my machine boots up but no luck in a fix for the update part of it. And if any out there are wonder YES I do Plan on getting a Real Copy.

Answer 1

As a pirate, I have tried many things. Once you've downloaded the Validation tool, its too late. You can keep auto-update on. But Microsoft will install it through Auto-update eventually. I think they started that on 4/24/06. So just have to wait for a real copy my friend. =)

How to get rid of the Microsoft Genuine check:
Lauch Windows Task Manager.
End wgatray.exe process in Task Manager.
Restart Windows XP in Safe Mode by hitting F8 during bootup.
Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32 by typing the following:
cd c:\windows\system32
You should be at the system32 folder.
Type del wgatray.exe and then hit enter. (This will delete it)
Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32\dllcache by typing the following:
cd c:\windows\system32\dllcache
Type del wgatray.exe and then hit enter. (This will delete it)
Type exit and hit enter and restart your computer to get to normal Windows Mode.
Launch RegEdit by going to start menu, then go to Run and type regedit.
Browse to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify
Delete the folder ‘WgaLogon’ and all its contents
Reboot Windows XP.
