If you need to change the XP key in order to upgrade to SP1, here is what you do:

1. Start | Run | regedit

2. Find [HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents]

3. Double-click "oobetimer" and change at least one digit which will cause XP to deactivate because of a

bad key.

4. Start | Run | %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

5. At the activation screen select Activation by phone.

6. Click Next

7. Ignore the top of the screen and go to the bottom of the window and click "Change Key" [or something

similar].

8. In the new window enter the key generated by the Blue List keygen. If there is an apply button or

something click it.

9. Close the window.

10. Reboot.

11. Start | Run | %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

12. You should be told that your XP installation is already activated.

Bootup Quicker

I know I shaved a good 30 seconds off my boot time by removing all unnecessary programs from starting

automatically (although I still have about 15 that do), and changing all non-critical services from automatic

to manual, so they are turned on only as needed.

The following page has information about XP's Services: http://blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

CD Burner – Disable

Start>rt-click My Computer>Manage>Services and Applications>Services>dbl-click IMAPI CD-Burning

COM Service>click the 'Stop' button, then set it to 'disabled' in the combo box

This will disable the XP built-in CD-burning service

CD Burner – Enable and Use

Open up My Computer, right-click on your CD-R drive, select "Properties" > "Recording" and look for a

check next to "Enable CD recording on this drive" and hit "Apply".

To copy files and folders to a CD:

1. Insert a blank, writable CD into the CD recorder.

2. Open My Computer.

3. Click the files or folders you want to copy to the CD. To select more than one file, hold down the

CTRL key while you click the files you want. Then, under File and Folder Tasks, click Copy this file,

Copy this folder, or Copy the selected items. If the files are located in My Pictures, under Picture

Tasks, click Copy to CD or Copy all items to CD, and then skip to step 5.

4. In the Copy Items dialog box, click the CD recording drive, and then click Copy.

5. In My Computer, double-click the CD recording drive. Windows displays a temporary area where the

files are held before they are copied to the CD. Verify that the files and folders that you intend to copy

to the CD appear under Files Ready to be Written to the CD.

6. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Write these files to CD. Windows displays the CD Writing Wizard.

Follow the instructions in the wizard.
