Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current
Version\WPAEvents

In the right pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify.

Change at least one digit of first line value to deactivate Windows.

Run %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

Reboot Normally here if doing it from safe mode

Preinstalled xp system use the key on the back of the machine. All
others use the same key, that you used to install windows xp. Click
Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate
Windows, and then click Next. Click Change Product key. Type the
product key in the New key boxes, and then click Update. If another
Screen pops up-Click Remind me latter. Reboot. Then activate.
Reboot.
