    * Subj : A few registry keys will allow XP to update itself via Windows Update ============================================================================= From: Virus Guy <"Virus"@Guy. com>

    A simple registry tweak is enough for WU to show the latest POSReady
    updates on Windows XP. This method has been tested and works on any XP
    build.

    Add the following registry keys:

    HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WindowsEmbedded\ProductVersion","Feature PackVersion",0x00000000,"SP3"

    HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\WEPOS","Installed",0x10001,0

    HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\WES","Installed",0x10001,0

    HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\POSReady","Installed",0x10001,1

    Or use notepad to copy the following and save as .reg file and run it:

    ==========
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WindowsEmbedded\ProductVer sion]
    "FeaturePackVersion"="SP3"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\WEPOS]
    "Installed"=dword:00000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\WES]
    "Installed"=dword:00000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
    "Installed"=dword:00000001
    ===========

    Restart your computer, and make sure WindozeUpdate service is running.
    You will see there are updates for you to install! And your XP PC will continue to recieve MS patches until the year 2019.

    This is for 32-bit XP. There is a different method for 64-bit version
    of XP (by spoofing Windows 2003 server).

    This trick works because for the purposes of WindowsUpdate, it makes WU
    think you're running POS2009 (Point Of Service 2009) which is basically
    XP for cash registers and other "point-of-service" PC's. Microsoft
    provides update support for POS2009 until 2019.
