Register XP

[Guest]

Have just set up XP on a Compaq LapTop. During set up I elected not to
register at that time as my ADSL line was not set up.
Now I cannot work out how to register. The online help tells me to click a
register icon in the task bar but there is no such icon there!
How can I register?

Unless you have a personal reason to register your Windows XP install, it
is not necessary, ;....'Activation' is, ...registering is not. Go to Start
menu, Accessories, System Tools to 'activate' XP..

Since the OP has a Compaq, his XP is already activated. As you have
said, registration is unnecessary.

Start > Run > "C:\Windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A."
