remove windows XP activation -fix 4-23-2006

Arg! I hate that windows expects you to activate to download the updates. Well here are the steps to turn off the activeX control that http://update.microsoft.com/ expects. Works fine for me XP-home and XP-professional.

1. Download ActiveXhelper from http://www.nirsoft.net/ freeware
2. Decompress and run axhelper.exe
3. Select 'Load ActiveX list from the following CLSID/ProdID list:'
4. and paste this: LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck.1
   and click OK
5. Right-click on the registry key and select 'Disable selected item'
6. Close all IE Windows and restart IE
