Vista Trick i just found...

equobix · 08-12-2007, 08:45 AM

kind of random but surprising i'm the first to discover this.

If you're vista ever expires, you can click the "register online" button that lets your browser pops up, you can just type c: in the address bar and then if you run a copy of explorer.exe from windows XP, it screws up whatever locks you out and bam your start bar icons and everything come back.

kind of funny the crack for windows vista is a file from windows xp, lulz.

You can also extend the trial from 30 days to 120 days: (perfectly legal too)

On a slightly related note, I have seen references to "permenantly activated edition' Vistas. Are these actual full versions that can be updated and patched?

Yes.

Yes, the exact file name would be : Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Integrated July 2007 OEM DVD-BIE

and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x86 Integrated July 2007 OEM DVD-BIE

No cd key needed, no crack, and it patches it self pretty nice, too bad I can't get it to work (my computer, not the release)

Zamar:

Thanks. I assume those are the 64 and 32 bit versions? What's recommended?
