Remove Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications


Windows Genuine Advantage notifications occur when your computer hasn't passed the validation test.














Method 1:

Step 1: Open System32 by either of the following methods:







  • Click "Start" -> "Run", then type "system32". Click "Ok".
  • Find system32 manually by clicking "Start" > "My Computer" > "(C:)" (or whatever your drive letter is) > "WINDOWS" > "system32".
Step 2: In "system32", go to "Tools" > "Folder options", click on the tab, "View", and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" if it is not already.

Step 3: Check to make sure the window that comes up has a full screen of various files. The files are in alphabetical order, which makes it easier to locate the specific file.

Step 4: Find "WgaLogon.dll" and rename it "WgaLogon.dll.bak".







Step 5: Create an empty copy of WgaLogon.dll:
  • Right click on a blank space in system32 and select "New" > "Text Document".






  • Leave the text document empty and label it "WgaLogon.dll". Press Enter(on your keyboard).
  • You may get a warning from the above step that says, "If you change a file name extension, the file may become unusable. Are you sure you want to change it?". Click "Yes" on this warning.







Step 6: Be ready to complete the next two steps very quickly! Find "WgaTray.exe" in "system32" and delete it. You will then have 5 seconds to find "WgaTray.exe" in the Task Manager (the next step).
NOTE: If you remove the files mentioned above while you are in "Safe Mode," This should kill the wgatray.exe process from the Taskbar and immediately delete both files wgatray.exe and wgalogon.dll without the need to to go through all steps bellow.

Step 7: Immediately open Task Manager. Click on the process tab and click end process when "WgaTray.exe" is selected.








Note: If you take longer, do not panic! All that will happen is that "WgaTray.exe" will keep reappearing in the processes list (i.e. you won't be able to delete it as required).

Step 8: To remove the notifications after this, return to system32.

Step 9: You will find two files:"WgaLogon.dll.bak" (the one you renamed) and an Application Extension (0KB) called "WgaLogon.dll".

Step 10: Delete the Application Extension, rename "WgaLogon.dll.bak" to "WgaLogon.dll" and repeat the steps from the fifth one onwards (at a greater speed!!).

Step 11: Restart your computer once you have finished. All the notification messages should be gone.


Method 2:

Step 1: Reboot Windows in safe mode (hold the f8/f12 whatever your PC suits key while booting and you will get the option to boot in safe mode).

Step 2: Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and search for wgalogon folder and delete it. You should backup up the registry beforehand, in case somethiong goes wrong.

Step 3: In your windows directory search for files wga* and delete them.

Step 4: Now reboot back normally and continue your work. Windows Genuine Advantage will not bother you anymore.

Increase Trial Period For Trial Version Software Forever





RunAsDate is a small utility that allows you to run a program in the date and time that you specify. This utility doesn’t change the current system date, but it only injects the date/time that you specify into the desired application.
RunAsDate intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date and time (GetSystemTime, GetLocalTime, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime), and replaces the current date/time with the date/time that you specify. It works with Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista.
NOTE: FOLLOW THESE TIPS CAREFULLY
You have to follow these tips carefully to successfully hack a software and make it run in it’s trial mode forever.
1. Note down the date and time, when you install the software for the first time.
2. Once the trial period expires, you must always run the software using RunAsDate.
Download Software From here....
3. After the trial period is expired, do not run the software(program) directly. If you run the software directly even once, this hack may no longer work.
4. It is better and safe to inject the date of the last day in the trial period.
For example, if the trial period expires on jan 30 2009, always inject the date as jan 29 2009 in the RunAsDate. I hope this helps! Please express your experience and opinions through comments.

Folder which can't be created in Windows and it's crack

Folders with name: CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5,COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, & LPT9 cant be created using Windows Explorer or Command Prompt directly!

Try creating them anywhere and you will fail . This is prevented as XP terms these folders as SYSTEM Folder Names reserved only for the Operating System.

But there is a trick to create them (using command prompt ) :

Open command prompt by typing cmd in run window & type : md \\.\\C:\con . 

Start Button Rename Windows XP

Step 1 – Modify Explorer.exe File In order to make the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows needs to be edited. Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special editor. For purposes of this article I have used Resource Hacker. Which is used to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). To download it CLICK HERE

First make a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer. Place it in a folder somewhere on your hard drive where it will be safe. Start Resource Hacker and open explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer.exe.Now navigate to the String Table. Now click on 37 and then on 1033 as shown in the figure.


Instead of “start” just write the word you want to replace with start. Like “Solution”.

Now click to compile script button and then save the altered file bye any name you wish like explorerchanged.exe using the Save As command on the File Menu. Do not use the Save command .







Step 2 – Modify the Registry

Go to start , navigate to Run and type regedit in the Open: field. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon In the right pane , double click the Shell entry to open the Edit String dialog box as shown in Fig. 06. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK.
