windows activation

how do i activate windows xp home addition after it is
already installed on my computer and how do i know if it
is activated or not

Hi

Type the following into Start>Run:

C:\Windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A

to see if XP has been activated. You'll have to allow 'Microsoft Out of Box
Experience' access to the Internet.
