How to Remove Entering of Serial Key in Windows XP Setup

When you manually install Windows XP to several computers with different specifications. Instead of inputting the License Key in every computer, Make it Automatic Insert like OEM Installation Disc!

Tested in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3

[UserData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX [Data] MSDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes

Tested in Windows XP Service Pack 1

[UserData] ProductKey="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" [Data] MSDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes

Open your notepad, copy-paste the settings above, input your Product Key and save it as Winnt.sif to I386 Folder of your Windows XP Installation Disc by creating an ISO image and editing the file using any ISO Editor.

Normal Mistake: Winnt.sif.txt, uncheck "Hide Extension for known file types" in Windows Explorer > Tools Menu > Folder Options > View Tab

Sorry... I can't find any Free ISO Editor for Windows. Please tell me If you find one :)

WORKAROUND:

Create a duplicate or a copy of your Windows XP Installer and do not finalize the burning of the disc. In short, make a multi-session disc.

Example using CDBurnerXP:

After creating a copy as multisession disc, Re-open CDBurnerXP and choose Data Disc > Open the drive and re-insert the disc for adding more files.

Adding winnt.sif to I386 Folder:

Continue Multisession Disc

Drag the File to I386 Folder and Start Burning!

Tip: You can also put your must have Softwares in the Installation Disc. Great for Computer Technicians!

Tips for creating strong passwords on Windows 7 (and Vista)

Passwords are secret string of characters that help ensure unauthorized users do not access the computer. It is being use to log on to a computer system and access programs, documents, and other resources. This is being use widely on websites, and computers running in any operating system.

It can be made up of letters, numbers, especial symbols, and spaces.

Tips for creating a secure password

• Is at least eight characters long
• Does not contain your family name, user name, company name or any words relating to you
• Does not contain a complete word
• different from previous passwords

Contains characters from each of the following four categories:

Uppercase letters A, B, C
Lowercase letters a, b, c
Numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Symbols found on the keyboard
\ - + ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ = { } [ ] | : ; " ' < > , . ? / `

Create an easy-to-remember piece of information that can be use as a password that combines all the categories. Relate your password to a favorite hobby, foods or words.

Lower Case
facebook
f@c3800k

Upper Case
regdevelop
r3gd3v3l0p

Alternating Case
yesterday
Y3$73rD@y

There is a Web Application that I’ve made that easily change the words like the above example.

If you feel you must write down your password in order to remember the character combination, make sure you don't label it as your “secret” password, and keep it in a safe place. This time a random password generator is recommended.

Some people create an acronym from an easy-to-remember information of your personal information. For example, a phrase that is meaningful to you and its impossible for you to forget, such as My brothers birthday is 6 August, 1974. Using that phrase as your guide, you might use Mbbi6/Aug,74 for your password.

If your a kind of person that doesn’t wants to memorize complicated passwords and you want the plain and readable ones. This time, anencrypted password generator is recommended.

Encrypted password generator creates a balance between the unrecognizable secure passwords and easy-to-remember password ones.

From a very simple word like “hello” into a strong and encrypted words.

1. Use the tool to generate the secure password and memorize your suggested word only.

2. Before login to your online bank, mail, facebook, myspace, friendster or any social networking website, go to the Windows For Us Encrypted password Generator and use the tool to create your encrypted password.

You don't need to memorize the secure password because you can go back to the website and generate the secure password again then afterwards, use that for login.

Hope this helps!
