 Andrel, .bin means binary.  You can open it with notepad or other viewer,  however, that will render it as a bunch of jibberish.  The best way is with a hex editor.  You can download these free on the web as trial.   Unless you know what to edit this will not help!

Software / Changing OEM to Retail/Upgrade to Full?

« on: February 12, 2004, 09:34:05 PM »

Fellow techguiders, If changing the Pid numbers, OEM,270, and 335 makes XP into OEM, Volumn License and Retail, respectively.  What determines if it is an upgrade or a full install?

Any one have any ideas.  The article elsewhere in these forums dealing with the above type of "key" to use works.  By copying the cd to your harddrive and changing the "setupp.ini" file to one of the last three digits above will change the type of key the cd will accept when installing.

What change would allow one to make it Full Install or Upgrade?

Thanks, penguin7009 http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':rolleyes:\' />

Go to Google.com and type in Window Blinds 4.0.  They have all the themes you could want for Win9x-XP
